Here are the relevant aliases I use for Firewalls and
Firewalls-Digest.  Does this help?  Beware that these are for use with
Majordomo 1.62, by the way; I haven't had time to upgrade to 1.90 yet,
so I don't know what changes will be necessary to make these work with
them (probably just changes to the arguments for "resend").

firewalls: "|/usr/local/mail/majordomo/wrapper resend
        @/usr/local/mail/lists/firewalls.resend
        firewalls-outgoing"
firewalls-outgoing: :include:/usr/local/mail/lists/firewalls,
        firewalls-archive, firewalls-digestify
firewalls-digest: firewalls
firewalls-digestify: "|/usr/local/mail/majordomo/wrapper digest
        -r -c /usr/local/mail/digest/firewalls-digest.cf"
firewalls-digest-send: "|/usr/local/mail/majordomo/wrapper resend
	@/usr/local/mail/lists/firewalls-digest.resend
	firewalls-digest-outgoing"
firewalls-digest-outgoing: :include:/usr/local/mail/lists/firewalls-digest

Thus, incoming mail sent to either "Firewalls" or "Firewalls-Digest"
goes into the same queue, which includes "Firewalls-Digestify".
"Firewalls-Digestify" is what feeds things to the "digest" program.
"Firewalls-Digest-Send" is where the cron job sends the actual digest
every night, after it's been created.
