You can set your "digest_maxdays  =   1" 

...and get the result you want. It watches the oldest message in the spool
and triggers an automatic send of the digest based on the oldest
message...which in your case, it could take more than one day for another
message to arrive... maybe several days. So, don't worry about the setting
at "1" day.. it's go a minumum of 24 hours and if the next message beyond
24 hours doesn't arrive for days, weeks, etc.. a digest will wait for that
next message before sending.
