A standard Mailman installation runs several cron jobs either via a
'system' crontab or the Mailman user's crontab. One of these jobs is
cron/senddigests which by default runs at noon for all lists.
cron/senddigests sends a digest for every list whose Digest options ->
digest_send_periodic is Yes and which has messages pending for the
digest.
If you want only periodic digests, set digest_send_periodic to Yes and
set digest_size_threshhold large enough that you don't get digests
triggered on size in between.
You can edit Mailman's crontab to run cron/senddigests on any schedule
you want, and if you want different schedules for different lists, you
can specify one or more list names for cron/senddigests with one or
more -l LISTNAME options and have multiple commands run on different
schedules for different lists.
