Thanks Mark!
I get it now - 'mkdigest' is a command being sent via email to
majordomo and is not the name of a file in the majordomo folder.
However, my digest doesn't seem to be going out daily, as
it is set in the digest maxdays field. For that reason, I want to set
up a crontab that does it automatically once a day.
If I were to set up this in crontab:
30 23 * * * echo '/path/to/file/myfile.txt' | mail majordomo@myaddress.com
where myfile.txt contains:_______________
From: me@myaddress.com
To: majordomo@myaddress.com
Subject: Send List Digest
Reply-To: me@myaddress.com
mkdigest <list-digest> <password>
EOF
________________________________
Would it work?
Crontab sends all mailed responses to my superuser account
where a sender is not supplied.
Would this send an email to majordomo and reply to me
appropriately rather than to the superuser address?
