Details

Description:
The included timer for the gate_news (NNTP polling and sending to lists) functionality is not correct:

On activation:

systemctl start mailman-gatenews.timer
"[/usr/lib/systemd/system/mailman-gatenews.timer:5] Failed to parse calendar specification, ignoring: */5:00:00"

If it's a daily thing (at 5AM), it should be 05:00:00 instead!
If it should be every 5 minutes, one could just set:
OnUnitActiveSec=5m
instead of using OnCalendar.


Additional info:
mailman 2.1.18.1-2

Steps to reproduce:
- Install mailman
- systemctl start mailman-gatenews.timer
This task depends upon

Shouldn't OnUnitActiveSec be OnUnitInactiveSec? If you use the former, something would need to kickstart the feedback loop. Using the latter should mean that the unit runs ~5 minutes after bootup, and ~5 after each run finishes.
