See the FAQ at <http://wiki.list.org/x/4030607>. I don't think you could use the throttle.patch directly, but you could use the idea perhaps to do what you want, but it would probably be a kludge. > Digests are delivered when the size limit is reached (if > digest_size_threshold > 0), or once a day (if digest_send_periodic is > set), which ever comes first. The size limit is set on the "Digest > Options" view of the "Administration" page for the list. You can adjust Mailman's crontab to run cron/senddigests more frequently which could help, but then people who want a less frequent digest wouldn't have that option. > I suppose it might be possible to modify Mailman to hang on to posts > for a few hours and send them out in batches, but this might cause a > large load on the mail server during that period. That's what I was getting at above. -- Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
