Package: mailman
Severity: minor

I installed mailman, and got this funny message the next day.
  From: Anacron <root at jidanni.org>
  Subject: Anacron job 'cron.daily' on jidanni2
  To: root at jidanni.org

  /etc/cron.daily/logrotate:
  Re-opening all log files
  Re-opening all log files

You really should have more identifying information in there as to
what is making the output. It is probably /etc/logrotate.d/mailman.
Or maybe this lack of traceablity shoule be reassigned to cron.

And you perhaps shouldn't be making any output in the first place here.

P.S.,
file:///usr/share/doc/mailman/html/admins.html says its manual is by
Oda, only upon clicking we see its by Warsaw. Also some local links on
this page are busted, as on similar pages.
