This is the major problem. 0 does not mean unlimited. It means a digest
will be sent with every post because any post makes a digest >= 0.

Set this to some reasonable size.

If you thought 0 was unlimited, how did you think a digest would ever
be produced if not daily and not on size?

This does not mean send a digest daily. That's the previous setting.
This means how often should the volume number be incremented and the
issue number reset to 1.
