Yes, that's your problem.  Create that directory and you should be ok.  If
you feel like it, delete the archives after it creates them.  It's up to
you.

Second, in order to get it to consistently send out the digest, stick the
following script (modified for your own application) into your
/etc/cron.daily subdirectory:

-------------->Begin
#!/bin/sh
#
# Script to force digest creation
# Created by Todd A. Lyons <todd@mrball.net> 11/04/00
 
LOG=/var/log/mj_digest
DIGEST=cerritoslug-digest
PASSWORD=your_admin_password
MJ="majordomo@lug.mrball.net"
 
echo mkdigest $DIGEST $PASSWORD | mail $MJ >> $LOG 2>&1 
-------------->End

struggling and wasting time trying to deal with it, and want to exchange
coping-strategy tips with others in the same boat.  --  Rick Moen
