>From the FAQ shipped with 1.93:

[from John Rouillard]
 
echo mkdigest [digest-name] [digest-password] | mail majordomo@...
 
This will force a digest to be created. Or you can set the max size in the
digest list config file down low, and force automatic generation. There are
some patches for 1.92 that will allow other ways of specifying automatic
digest sending. The patch is in the contrib directory. 

Set up a crontab(1) file, or an at(1) job to send the above
message. It works fine.
