[Mailman-Users] Re: Making Sure a Weekly Digest is Just Weekly
Mark, Thank you! Ugh. Dream Host does not give me cron job / command line access. I'll try begging them to do this, but more likely I'll have to manually release the Digest each week. Or... Look into setting up my own Mailman service on my own virtual server... I am running a Mastodon instance, so I might be up for the challenge. Maybe.

All, I'm appreciating and looking into the many suggestions so far. **Anyone know which -- if any -- give cron job / CLI access?** Thanks, Michael *Michael Reeder, LCPC * *Hygeia Counseling Services : Baltimore / Mt.

It is unlikely they will let you do this as it would affect all lists on the server, not just yours. A manual process is not too bad. Set the list's digest_size_threshhold to zero so no digests are sent on size and set digest_send_periodic to No so none are sent by cron. Then when you want to send a digest, set _send_digest_now to Yes on the Digest options page and save changes. This will send the digest immediately if it has any messages. Or... Look into setting up my own Mailman service on my own virtual server... I am running a Mastodon instance, so I might be up for the challenge. Maybe. If you're considering this, I would recommend Mailman 3. See https://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/install/install.html Mailman 2.1 is past end of life and will only become more difficult to support as time goes on. In particular, it requires Python 2 which is also end of life and is being dropped from many distros. -- Mark Sapiro The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, Californiabetter use your sense - B.
