Check your aliases.  First, I've pasted the aliases that process the
incoming messages and send them out to the list.  Note the addition of the
cerritoslug-digestify on the cerritoslug-list alias:

cerritoslug:    "| /usr/local/bin/majordomo-1.94.5/wrapper resend -l
cerritoslug cerritoslug-list,nobody"
cerritoslug-list:       "|/usr/local/bin/bulk_mailer -maxdomains 3
cerritoslug@cerritoslug.org /var/lists/cerritoslug",
cerritoslug-archive,cerritoslug-digestify

Then, this section is what makes the digest work.  Note the one odd line
(cerritoslug-digest: cerritoslug).  The functionality of that line eludes me
slightly, but it has to be there.  Doublecheck to make sure that yours has
the same structure as these.

cerritoslug-digestify:  "|/usr/local/bin/majordomo-1.94.5/wrapper digest -r
-C -l cerritoslug-digest cerritoslug-digest-outgoing" 
cerritoslug-digest:     cerritoslug
cerritoslug-digest-outgoing:    :include:/var/lists/cerritoslug-digest
cerritoslug-digest-request:     "|/usr/local/bin/majordomo-1.94.5/wrapper
majordomo -l cerritoslug-digest" 

Of course, there must also be cerritoslug-digest-owner and cerritoslug-owner
and owner-cerritoslug aliases as well, but I omitted those for clarity.

Most traditional Pee-Cee user groups, I've noticed, function mainly as
commiseration societies for people who've bought lousy hardware, are
struggling and wasting time trying to deal with it, and want to exchange
coping-strategy tips with others in the same boat.  --  Rick Moen
