I created that directory, and upon sending the mkdigest command to
majordomo, it replied saying that the digesting had been successful. The
001 002 003 004 files were removed from the
$majordomo_home/digests/blah-list-digest directory, and created 1 file in
$majordomo_home/lists/blah-list-digest.archive called v01.n001. There were
two addresses in blah-list-digest, and neither one of them received a
digested email.

Now just so I'm clear, is it the contents of the v01.n001 file that was to
be sent to the subscribers of the digested list ? Any ideas why the members
of blah-list-digest didn't receive the email ?

Your help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

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
