You are right but not because of improper format of crontab.in file: # This file is copied to /etc/cron.d/mailman from # /usr/lib/mailman/cron/crontab.in when the mailman service is started via its # init.d script and the file /etc/cron.d/mailman is removed when the # service is stopped. Therefore any edits made directly to # /etc/cron.d/mailman will be lost anytime the mailman service # restarts. # # To make changes edit the master copy /usr/lib/mailman/cron/crontab.in and then # restart the service to pick up the changes (/sbin/service mailman restart). # # The reason this is done this way is because the mailman cron jobs # should only be invoked if the mailman service is enabled and not # just as a consequence of installing the rpm as was the case # previously. The file /etc/cron.d/mailman cannot simply be linked to # the master copy in /usr/lib/mailman/cron because for security reasons cron # will not process crontab files that are links or writeable by # anybody else but root, thus the file must be copied into /etc/cron.d # with the right ownership and permissions.
