Carl raises some good points, but to answer your specific question, I don't know what if anything your distro's Mailman package does with /usr/lib/mailman/cron/crontab.in, but if it copies it automagically to /etc/cron.d/mailman, then putting the command there is OK. The bottom line is if your Mailman cron jobs are in a system crontab such as /etc/cron.d/mailman, you want the line > 0 8 * * * mailman /usr/lib/mailman/bin/withlist -a -r reset_bounce -- -u > mana...@xxxxxxxx.xxx.xxx -u co...@xxxxxxxx.xxx.xxx -u ca...@xxxxxxxx.xxx.xxx in that file. If your Mailman cron jobs are in the Mailman user's crontab /var/spool/cron/crontabs/mailman, you need to omit the username as in > 0 8 * * * /usr/lib/mailman/bin/withlist -a -r reset_bounce -- -u > mana...@xxxxxxxx.xxx.xxx -u co...@xxxxxxxx.xxx.xxx -u ca...@xxxxxxxx.xxx.xxx You also need to have copied the script to /usr/lib/mailman/bin/reset_bounce.py -- Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
