I run a list using Mailman 2.1.9; I am only the listadmin, not the site admin. I have configured the list so that subscribers who choose the digest option get one or more daily digests if there are any posts that day. On or about December 16th, the digest subscribers stopped getting any digests at all. Exception: if I use send_digest_now, they get a digest. The digest volume number increments each month. I used send_digest_now in the middle of February and the result was volume X issue 1; it should have been more like issue 10. This tells me the problem is in Mailman.
Is this a known problem?

I suspect the problem is one of two things. Either Digest options -> digest_send_periodic is set to No or Mailman's cron/senddigests is not being run by cron.
I suspect that on or about December 16th, either someone changed the list's digest_send_periodic setting or changed Mailman's crontab or for some reason, the system's crond stopped running.

That's what I concluded myself, after I posted my query here.
