I am having a terrible time getting digesting to work for a particular
list. So far, I understand that you have to create a totally seperate list
for the digest and setup that .config file. In my aliases I have the
following:

## BLAH LIST

blah-list: "|/usr/local/majordomo/wrapper resend -l blah-list -h salons.org
blah-list-outgoing"
blah-list-outgoing::include:/usr/local/majordomo/lists/blah-list ,
blah-list-digestify
blah-list-request:"|/usr/local/majordomo/wrapper majordomo -l blah-list"
owner-blah-list: whoever@domain.com
blah-list-owner: whoever@domain.com
blah-list-approval: whoever@domain.com


## BLAH LIST (DIGEST)

blah-list-digestify: "|/usr/local/majordomo/wrapper digest -r -C -l
blah-list-digest blah-list-digest-outgoing"

blah-list-digest: blah-list
blah-list-digest-outgoing::include:/usr/local/majordomo/digests/blah-list-digest
blah-list-digest-request:"|/usr/local/majordomo/wrapper majordomo -l
blah-list-digest"
owner-blah-list-digest: whoever@domain.com
blah-list-digest-approval: whoever@domain.com


This is what I've gathered from the Doc/README.digest and from other
readme/faq's throughout the web.

I suppose the digesting part is working because in the
'$majordomo_home/digests' directory, there is a folder called
blah-list-digest which now contains 001 002 003 etc. I want the digest to
go out once a day, so in my blah-list-digest.config I have set the
following variables:

digest_maxdays =    1
digest_name         =    Blah List Digest
digest_volume       =    1
digest_issue        =    1

I have left digest_maxlines un-defined because I don't want to sent out the
digest based on length, I want to send it out once a day.

In the actual blah-list-digest I have a few of my email addresses for
testing.

When I send an email to majordomo@blah.host.com, with 'mkdigest
blah-list-digest password' in the body, and I get back the following
message:

>>>> mkdigest blah-list-digest password
producing BLAH List Digest V1 #1
                 processing

                 processing

                 processing

/usr/local/majordomo/digests/blah-list-digest/012
                 processing
/usr/local/majordomo/digests/blah-list-digest/013
mj_digest: ABORT
open(DIGEST,
">/usr/local/majordomo/lists/blah-list-digest.archive/v01.n001"): No such
file or directory
>>>> end
END OF COMMANDS

This makes it seem to me that Archiving is required for Digesting, but I'm
not really sure of anything. Either way, nothing gets sent to the members
of blah-list-digest.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
