If digest_send_periodic is Yes, and the list has had at least one post since the last digest, a digest will be sent when cron/senddigests runs. >Do options in >the configuration take precedence over the script? The only configuration option that affects cron/senddigests is digest_send_periodic which controls whether or not cron/senddigests will send a digest for this list. >If the intention is to >schedule sending of digests from cron for a particular list on specific days >only, will the script send the digest regardless of the threshold? Yes >And, if you >disable the cronjob above, how will that affect any other lists on the mail >server where users arbitrarily choose to receive digests and list owners allow >this? If you disable cron/senddigests, no periodic digests will be sent for any list. If you change the schedule, it will affect all lists. You can run cron/senddigests for specific lists with a "-l listname" option (run 'cron/senddigests -h' for info) so you could set up your crontab to run 'cron/senddigests -l list1' on one schedule and 'cron/senddigests -l list2' on another, but the problem is there's no "all lists except ..." option, so it becomes cumbersome. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
