REGARDING digests, the way I see them
Lately I've seen a lot of posts about digest not working, but no answers.
These folks are in the same boat that I was in, about a year ago, and this
list was my tutor. The best way I learned was to see the code people
used, so here's "digest in a nutshell."
/MAJORDOMO.CF, applicable section:
# Majordomo will look for "get" and "index" files related to $list in
# directory "$filedir/$list$filedir_suffix", so set $filedir and
# $filedir_suffix appropriately. For instance, to look in
# /usr/local/mail/files/$list, use:
# $filedir = "/usr/local/mail/files";
# $filedir_suffix = ""; # empty string
# or to look in $listdir/$list.archive, use:
# $filedir = "$listdir";
# $filedir_suffix = ".archive";
$filedir = "/usr/local/mail/archives";
$filedir_suffix = "";
<snip>
# the safe locations for archive directories. This should be defined as
# a series of root anchored directory paths as will be used as prefixes
# to the file names specified to the archive2.pl script.
@archive_dirs = ( "/usr/local/mail/archives",
"/usr/local/mail/archives/test",
"/usr/local/mail/archives/other-list-names" );
/USR/LOCAL/MAIL directory:
drwxrwsr-x 35 majordom majordom 1024 Mar 4 14:07 archives
drwxrwsr-x 8 majordom majordom 512 Feb 20 13:44 digest
drwxrwsr-x 2 majordom majordom 21504 Mar 21 13:02 lists
/USR/LOCAL/MAIL/ARCHIVES directory:
drwxrwsr-x 2 majordom majordom 512 Mar 13 14:37 test
drwxrwsr-x 2 majordom majordom 512 Mar 1 14:43 test-digest
and so on.
(I have about 30 archiving lists)

Notice, there is no test-digest alias. Create test-digest the same as
any other list, with subscriber's file, info file, config file, passwd file.
Hope this helps. I don't know if this is the best way, or the only way.
A reminder that the majordomo-users archives are available for everyone.
