[Mailman-Users] Digest Delivery question...

2011-10-11 Thread Chuck Johnson
Greetings,

I am curious if anyone has found a way to specify the time(s) that the digest 
message is sent rather than depending upon a size condition being met?

I'm thinking that it can be done via a cron job and a mailman command, but I'm 
not familiar enough with the mailman specific commands to know if it is 
possible or not.

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Chuck

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.

digest_size_threshhold is set to 500Kb so it takes a few days to reach
that.  Any suggestions on what to look at here?

MM is 2.1.5, python is 2.3.4

No other lists have reported problems with digest delivery.


If digest_send_periodic is on and other lists in the same Mailman
installation are receiving daily digests and this list gets digests
when digest_size_threshhold is reached, the only thing I can think of
is the senddigests command in the crontab entry has -l or --listname=
options for the lists that are working and not this one.

Then again, maybe cron isn't running senddigests at all and this is the
only list that noticed.
