Hi,

We're new to Mailman 3 and are using EMWD's Affinity web interface.

We want/need the Digest (Plain or MIME) to be delivered at 9:00 a.m. Pacific Time to our members. Mailman 2 was always delivered at that time and our members who subscribe to the digest build their morning time around it. Right now, since merging MM2 to MM3, the digest is delivered at 12:30 a.m. (3:30 a.m ET).

Not sure if building a timer-type feature into the source code is the way to go, or if this is an Affinity thing.

It is an EMWD thing. Periodic digests are sent for all lists in the installation by a cron. Apparently EMWD's crontab for mailman contains entries like

# send digests for MM 2.1
0 12 * * * $PYTHON -S /usr/local/mailman/cron/senddigests

# send digests for MM 3
30 3 * * * /opt/mailman/mm/bin/mailman digests --periodic

This is a Mailman core function that has nothing to do with Affinity. You can ask EMWD to change the time that MM 3 digests are sent, but since it affects digests for all lists, they may not want to do that.
