Yes, by configuring the cron job that sends out the digests. The typical mailman installation uses a single cron task that invokes senddigests with no arguments, which causes it to generate periodic digests for *all* of the lists that have them enabled. To stagger the digest generation, cause senddigests to be invoked with the -l (-- listname) switch to specify individual lists: 0 7 * * * /usr/local/bin/python -S /usr/local/mailman/cron/ senddigests -l list1 30 7 * * * /usr/local/bin/python -S /usr/local/mailman/cron/ senddigests -l list2 0 8 * * * /usr/local/bin/python -S /usr/local/mailman/cron/ senddigests -l list3 ... for each list with periodic digests. -- Jim Tittsler http://www.OnJapan.net/ GPG: 0x01159DB6 Python Starship http://Starship.Python.net/crew/jwt/ Mailman IRC irc://irc.freenode.net/#mailman ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq01.027.htp
