Looking at the Digest archive directory, I see the digest.xx files are not getting populated.
How do you have the accept file set up? Do you have a link from list-l's accept to list-d's accept2 file? Do you realize that you _need_ to have this _if_ you have postings limited to subscribers? (Yes, there _are_ other ways around this, but this is the easiest.)
I am also assuming that an alternate method is to have the main list send to the digest by way of the rc.local.s20. I'm having trouble finding an example of this. Would someone point me to an example?
This is the one I use, and I have never had a lick of trouble with it, but some people suggest there can be lockfile problems. It's really pretty simple; assuming list-l and list-d, in your list-l rc.local.s20 file, add:
# # Send this to the digest (which will send it back...) # :0c | flist list-d
Note that if you don't have your accept/accept2 files straightened out, this won't work for you, either. (The advantage here is that you can set your list-d alias to pipe to "flist list-l" to avoid having to do a lot of filtering in both lists.)
Also, since I have a few hundred messages that have not been making it to the digest is there a way to send them from the main list archive to the digest list?
You could manually pipe them to flist, manually email them to the digest list, or just forget about it and start from where you get your accept links straightened out.
(I actually wondered if there was a "blessed" method for this; I'd be happy to write up a checklist if I were sure what way is considered the "correct" method.)
