Hmmm. Removed huh? Maybe our digesting situation isn't so healthy
afterall.
I just did a recursive listing of the /lists directory and there are
quite
a few digest.mboxes in there! A lot of them have really old dates on
them,
and NONE of them is over 30K. So I think the problem we have here is
that
our digests ONLY go out when the digest.mbox exceeds 30K, and not
"daily,
regardless of size". Maybe that's where the senddigests cron job kicks
in.

That still doesn't explain why they are all still there and nothing was
delivered when I ran the cron job at 12:48 today...
