On the list's admin->Digest options page, set digest_send_periodic to
Yes. This will send a digest at intervals determined by the crontab
entry for 'senddigests'. The default is daily at noon (host time).

You can also cause a digest to be sent 'now' by setting
_send_digest_now to Yes and clicking "Submit Your Changes". Note: 
setting this value performs an immediate action but does not modify
permanent state.

No
