|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.

One list that I run has a 1750 line limit.  This seems to xlate to about a
68 kB document.  Some user systems might have difficulty with certain size
digests.  Also consider when the "day" ends viz the bulk of your subscribers.
