Ok I get this error every morning around 3:45am EST.. I have looked for the cause, and my cpanel supporting host has no idea either...

Can anyone help me understand what this error is, and what might be causing it?

Thank you in advance for any advice, or help on this.

Oh, it happens to a lot of us. No one seems to be able to figure it out, though...

I think you can ignore those warning safely, Mailman's queue runner will run normally after Cpanel finishes updating itself.

From Mailman's crontab:
# Retry failed deliveries once per minute.
* * * * * /usr/bin/python -S /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/mailman/cron/qrunner

Perhaps you could make that &once per minute except from 3:45 to 3:50 EST& :p
