Withmajordomo 1.92 there is a mkdigest command. So your cron job looks like:

mail majordomo@wherever < /home/noah/.mkdigtext

where .mkdigtext has:

	mkdigest <digest list name> <digest list passwd>

Works like a charm. Alternatively you can use an echo of the command above,
but it doesn't work as well since a ps will give away your list password.
