Description: Alter the mlmmj instructions for making a crontab entry, which
by default tells the user to add an entry without specifying the user.
Additionally let the user know that the Debian package already adds a
crontab entry in /etc/cron.d meaning under normal circumstances no
additional crontab is necessary

4) Start mlmmj-maintd (remember full path when starting it!) or add it to

+ 0 */2 * * * root /usr/bin/mlmmj-maintd -F -L /var/spool/mlmmj/mlmmj-test

If you have several lists below /var/spool/mlmmj you can use -d:
/usr/bin/mlmmj-maintd -F -d /var/spool/mlmmj
