Re: [Mailman-Users] Digest not being sent
Actually, I have read the FAQ, but didn't seem to reap any useful information in this regard. I did find something in my search of the mailman-users list that talks about a corrupt digest.mbox file. Before I had a chance to check that out, the digest was sent. Odd.
So, what controls the time that the daily digest is sent out if the threshold hasn't been reached? There is a 'senddigests' script in the /mailman/cron directory, but I am at a loss as to when it is fired off.
I can generate digests based on threshold with no problem, and I know the daily delivery problem is happening with more than one list, so what else to look for?

Okay, I think I found it. I'm not sure how I missed it during install. I didn't find the answer in the FAQ, but rather in the Mailman install doc:
http://www.gnu.org/software/mailman/mailman-install/node41.html
So, I have installed the mailman crontab and the digests that haven't been sent by reaching the threshold should now be sent out at 12 am every night.

Actually, with the default Mailman crontab, they will be sent at noon. If you want them at midnight, you need to change the 12 in the senddigests crontab entry to 0.

You have to put that cron job in your crontab, usually for the root user. If not for root, then at least for the mailman user.
If your digest exceeds the maximum size you set, then Mailman will go ahead and fire off a digest anyway, even if you haven't reached the deadline.
If you've got problems with digests, the first thing to look for is the cron jobs.
