The smtp log message for a digest would look similar to

Aug 12 12:xx:xx 2014 (pid) <mailman.ss.tttttt.ttt.listname@server> smtp
to listname for nn recips, completed in t.ttt seconds

I.e, it would be timestamped shortly after noon and have a Mailman
generated message id. There might be two, one for all plain format
digests and one for MIME format digests.

A volume is a set of issues. The very first digest is Volume 1, Issue 1.
The next is Volume 1, Issue 2 and so on. After digest_volume_frequency
elapses, the next digest is Volume 2, Issue 1, and so on.

Most print periodicals work the same way.

Digests have a mailman generated message id of the form
<mailman.ss.tttttt.ttt.listname@server>, but so do all Mailman generated
notices, but the latter have only one or a few recipients.

Does LISTNAME (all lower case) exist? Does the file
lists/listname/config.pck exist in Mailman's file system?
