It's in the config file:
         # restrict_post        [restrict_post] (undef) <resend>
         # If defined, only addresses listed in these files (colon or space
        # separated) can post to the mailing list. By default, these files
        # are relative to the lists directory. These files are also checked
        # when get_access, index_access, info_access, intro_access,
        # which_access, or who_access is set to 'list'. This is less useful
        # than it seems it should be since there is no way to create these
        # files if you do not have access to the machine running resend.
        # This mechanism will be replaced in a future version of
        # majordomo/resend.
restrict_post       =   therox therox-digest

You've told it which digest to make but seem to be missing the recipient. 
Were the digests created and put in the proper folder under lists/digest or 
however you configured it?

This is one of my digest cron jobs:

echo mkdigest therox-digest therox-digest-outgoing therox.passwd | mail 
[email protected]

The passwd is stored in the file "therox.passwd" which is in the same 
location as the config file.  A copy is left in 
"/usr/local/majordomo/lists/digest/the-rox"

Pertinent digest recipient alias:
therox-digest-outgoing: 
:include:/usr/local/majordomo/lists/therox-digest,nobody
