Adjusting Digest Settings
Folks --
I thought I understood the digest settings, but...
I am currently serving up just one list with mailman, and it is set for both English and Russian language localization. The posts are in Russian/Cyrillic. This is working, but I am having trouble with the digests. I think the relevant settings are:
mailman version 2.1.4 (yes, the original one packaged with Mac OS 10.3 Server [aka Panther Server] ) digestable=yes digest_size_threshold=150 (kb) digest_send_periodic=yes
So, I expect a daily digest if there are any posts, and multiple digests on a single day if there are a lot of posts. But, I received no digests for three days, even when there were posts.
The original size threshold was only 30 kb, which was producing multiple daily digests. I think this is due to the fact that the archiving of Russian posts is actually storing each glyph as a separate HTML entity code (e.g. $#85114; etc.) which really eats up space quickly. So, I changed the size up to 5x30 since I had received up to four digests in a single day. Then, no digests went out. I have changed the setting to 60kb, but would appreciate any insight into the correct settings.

The periodic, 'daily' digest depends on cron/senddigests. Do you have a crontab for Mailman that runs this and other jobs? Is crond running on your server?
