Read it again. It says the proces CROND (therefore cron job) ran the listed command (CMD - /usr/bin/python -S /var/lib/mailman/cron/qrunner) as user mail. mailman is not turned off, apparently. If you want to disable the cron jobs, for whatever reason, the best way is to rename the scripts under /etc/cron*/ to something with a dot in it's name - I usually use something like mailman.disabled so I know what I did later. run-parts (the thing that reads in every script in a directory, and lets the parent run them) won't try to parse a file with a dot in it's name, so that's why this method is used.
