I think I would say "more than one" rather than "two" since if you go over
the size parameter multiple times in a day, you'll get multiple digests.
But yes, this is the correct parameter (although it is defined as "Size(xxx)",
not "Size=xxx").

It is completely and totally dependent on the number of postings/day and how
long they are.  500 lines strikes me as short but I run lists with thousands
of lines a day.  If you currently average 1000 lines/day in your notelogs
then 500 may be a good number.  If you currently average 2000 lines/day
in your notelogs, then there will be more than two digests/day with this
setting.  It's definitely something that you will have to tune to your own
needs.
