According to http://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/config-core.html, I have to add "@daily mailman digests --send" to the crontab. Which crontab does it go in? In the system crontab, the thing after the time is the username, and there's no user named "mailman" in /etc/passwd. Or should I put a script in / etc/cron.daily/?
The partucular "@daily mailman digests --send" would have to go in the user crontab for the Mailman user. If this is not 'mailman' it is what ever user "owns" Mailman. Further it would require that the path to Mailman's bin/mailman command be in that users $PATH.
If it were to go in the system /etc/crontab it would need to be something like
@daily user /path/to/bin/mailman digests --send
where 'user' is the Mailman user as above. That could also go in a file in /etc/cron.d/
Or you could put an executable script to run '/path/to/bin/mailman digests --send' in /etc/cron.daily
Your choice.
