2 questions 1. What does this do? Something called mailpasswds is kind of scary... /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/bin/python -S /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/mailman/cron/mailpasswds 2. Why is it failing with this error? Site list is missing: mailman

  Hello :) That's a Mailman script, as opposed to any custom cPanel script/integration. Here is it's description: [QUOTE]Send password reminders for all lists to all users. This program scans all mailing lists and collects users and their passwords, grouped by the list's host_name if mm_cfg.VIRTUAL_HOST_OVERVIEW is true. Then one email message is sent to each unique user (per-virtual host) containing the list passwords and options url for the user. The password reminder comes from the mm_cfg.MAILMAN_SITE_LIST, which must exist.
  Do you have any active mailing lists when running that command? Thank you.

  This is a new CloudLinux WHM virtual server running with a WHMCS store, so I don't think I have any mailing lists (at least none that I set up). I didn't set this up in the cron tab, so it must have been set up by something else? Is this dangerous?

  It's a standard cron job by default. You will see it on new installations in the cron file for the mailman user: /var/spool/cron/mailman The reason for the warning message is because you have no mailing lists setup. Thank you.
