You need to edit more then just the list config...
I got this from the majordomo web site so if this confuses you, go there...
Here are my configs for my NJ Devils mailing list which does digests and archives:
In majordomo.cf:
$digest_work_dir = "$homedir/digests"; # Like /usr/local/majordomo/digests
$filedir = "$homedir/files"; # Like /usr/local/majordomo/files
$filedir_suffix = ".archive"; # Like
/usr/local/majordomo/files/devils-list-digest.archive/
In aliases.majordomo:
devils-list: "|/usr/local/majordomo/wrapper resend -l devils-list
devils-list-outgoing"
devils-list-list: :include:/usr/local/majordomo/lists/devils-list
devils-list-request: "|/usr/local/majordomo/wrapper request-answer devils-list"
devils-list-approval: badweb
devils-list-outgoing: :include:/usr/local/majordomo/lists/devils-list,
devils-list-digestify
devils-list-digestify: "|usr/local/majordomo/wrapper digest -r -C -l
devils-list-digest devils-list-digest-outgoing"
devils-list-digest: devils-list
devils-list-digest-outgoing: :include:/usr/local/majordomo/lists/devils-list-digest
owner-devils-list: badweb
owner-devils-list-digest-outgoing: badweb
devils-list-digest-approval: badweb
The config file for the main list:
(The config for the digest is similer, plus you need to make the dirs referenced
above.)
