I think I'm confused about how SourceForge has implemented MailMan, or else their digest operation isn't working as advertised. I suspect the second one.
I checked each of the lists you mentioned (user, devel, kernel) and each is set up the same: - Can list members choose to receive list traffic bunched in digests? YES - How big in Kb should a digest be before it gets sent out? 30 - Should a digest be dispatched daily when the size threshold isn't reached? YES The last one is the important one, here. The digest *should* be sent out on a daily basis, even if the digest hasn't reached 30kb in size. So I don't know why it isn't doing that. I've resubmitted these settings as "new changes" to see if that forces things. Let me know if it does/doesn't work. If it still doesn't work, I can open a support ticket with SF. -jh On 11/11/07, Jim Hall <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > The mailing list is managed through SourceForge, so it will depend if > SourceForge provides such an ability to tweak the list.
