There is probably some defective message in the digest.mbox which is
causing some exception to be thrown in processing the digest.

Part of the issue is you probably never see the output from Mailman's
crons when they encounter errors. See <https://wiki.list.org/x/10715167>.

You can run

cron/senddigests

or

cron/senddigests -l <problem_list>

as the mailman user manually from the command line to get more
information on the error.

The ultimate solution will be to remove the problem message from the
digest.mbox or fix it.
