for an example subscribe to freebsd-hackers-digest.

digesting is configured on a list by list basis. it requires
turning digesting on in the lists config file, creating a
digest list (freebsd-hackers-digest vs freebsd-hackers)
and adding to the aliases for the list in /etc/alises
from freebsd-hackers.config:
digest_issue = 1
digest_name = freebsd-hackers
digest_volume = 1
maxlength = 40000
from /etc/aliases:
freebsd-hackers: "|/home/majordomo-1.92/wrapper resend -p bulk \
-l hackers -f FreeBSD-hackers-owner -h FreeBSD.ORG \
hackers-outgoing"
freebsd-hackers-outgoing: "|/home/majordomo-1.92/bulk_mailer -N 50 \
-m owner-freebsd-hackers /home/mail/lists/freebsd-hackers",
freebsd-hackers-archive,

WRAPPER is a security item for or majordomo. is is configured
once for the entrie majordomo installation. not on a per
list basis.

majordomo-1.93 and majordomo-1.92 are made for perl-4.036
your majordomo.cf file is inconsistent or lacking. majordomo
examines its %ENV array for a HOME directory and looks for majordomo.cf
in there, failing that it looks in /etc/majordomo.cf. majordomo
then adds its HOME to the %INC array. that's how it finds the
other majordomo perl files (eg majordomo.pl)
# $homedir -- Where can I find my extra .pl files, like majordomo.pl?
# the environment variable HOME is set by the wrapper
if ( defined $ENV{"HOME"}) {
$homedir = $ENV{"HOME"};
} else {
$homedir = "/home/majordomo-1.92";
}
