Once the list is 'held' (for example due to exceeding the daily-threshold) no further messages will be processed for the list, including no further msgs will be added to a possibly existing digest. The digest will still be released at the appointed time (default is midnight) since it is unaffected by the hold, and it will include messages up to the point the list is held, but no further. However, releasing the digest will not 'free' the list. That must still be done manually, and you will get the 'xx files released' message.
