Does the digest automatically go out
using a particular parameter if none are set?
I didn't set any, and it seems to go out once
every couple days. It's certainly not set in
crontab. I've noticed that it seems to go out
right after a member sends the first post
of the day on which it decides to send.
Also, is mkdigest part of majordomo or part
of sendmail? I didn't see it in my majordomo/bin
folder.
