Change the number of messages/day before the list goes into HOLD mode with: * Daily-Threshold= xxx (Where xxx is the number of messages you want to allow through before LISTSERV holds the list) If you want a digest to go out every yyy number of lines, do a * Digest= Yes,Same,Daily,Size(yyy) ^^^^^^^^^^ (note that "Same" and "Daily" may not be the values you have. I'm using them as an example only. Obviously if you have something else coded, you should use that.) Where yyy is the number of lines where a "special issue" will be cut and sent out. This works very well in holding digests down to a size that will traverse most weird gateways. One of my lists is set to Size(1000) and this makes about 6 digests/day with between 20 and 30 messages in each digest. Hope this helps. This is all documented in the list owners' manual. Nathan
