I don't think I have changed anything in my mail environment. Pretty
much all of my mail server installation is done with out-of-the-box
RPM packages, although I have done a lot of changes to my
/etc/postfix/main.cf file in the smtpd_recipient section in order to
get it to validate HELOs and reverse lookups, RBLs, Greylisting, etc.,
but I don't think that should have any effect on what Mailman is
trying to do at 4:02 am.

I'll take a look at the cron files and see what I can find.

Thanks
