Hi All,

For now, I've changed it so that a digest will not be forced at 10pm pacific time if a digest has been sent out within the previous 6 hours. We'll see how that goes; I can always tweak it.

Thanks,
Mark

 This suggests to me another way of looking at Digests. Maybe instead of a time of day, you can trigger them by a maximum age for the oldest message in the digest when the max count/size hasn't been reached.

The extra bit of complexity might be offset by smoothing out the delivery burden (on the average - you'd still see the occasional rogue wave).
