Thanks, Jeff.

I looked, just out of curiosity. According to the comments in that file,
it should have been running, unless /etc/cron.d/ isn't being processed for
some reason, or is failing. (By which I'm referring to it being copied to
/etc/cron.d -- where it does, in fact exist.)

Just for grins, I checked for the output of /etc/cron.d/systat, and the
/var/log/sa/ reports are there for every day.

It's not obvious to me where error reports from this cron job would go,
and I didn't see anything in /var/spool/mail/mailman. Yet that's where I'd
expect to find them, barring some other disposition. But the mailman
aliases are commented out. I assume it's OK if I uncomment those now.

But this is curioser than it appeared at first glance -- I think.
