I think I've figuered out thatMailman is using cron to send out its
messages. How can I make the job run more frequently?

in /home/mailman/cron there are the following files:

checkdbs  crontab.in  gate_news  mailpasswds  nightly_gzip  paths.py
paths.pyc  qrunner  senddigests

would crontab.in be the file I need to change?
Mailman's docs are kind of sparse but i can include a copy of this file if
it'll help
