I changed the way the archive is stored on the server from one 121Meg 
file to 21,831 little files (one per message) This makes makes it easier 
to mirror the server to the off site backup box as it only needs 
to copy the new posts.
 
well the digest software thought all 21,831 messages were new and started
sending them to the 279 digest users..  I stopped the digesting and reset       
the counter sat morning...  well, the software is smarter than me and
reset the counter and finished where it left off sunday morning before 
I awoke..
 
if any of those digest users had email quotas under 150Meg, I bet it filled
them up, and bounced an error to my server that suspended the users
subscription.
 
1) if you are a digest user who couldn't find the new content
in the flood of old content, look at the archives:

2) if you are a digest user who wants to reset their bounce counter,
reply to the reminder you get, or send mail to
lml-digest@lancaironline.net and reply to the email it generates.

my public apologies to the digest users who had to delete
121Meg of junk email.
