Configuring Mj2 digests is an arcane art, lemme tell ya. There are so many things you can set -- maximum age of oldest post, minimum age of newest post, maximum size, minimum size, whether each permitted run generates a single digest or how many it takes to clear the queue, hours at which digests can be generated -- that one really has to work the combinations till one finds one that works for the list.
