This situation occurs because the digest interval setting is
a
"per-user" setting, rather than a
"per-address" setting. The
per-address settings are stored in the policy table, and
those follow
the normal inheritance chain (system->domain->user),
but per-user
settings do not. Per-user settings are assigned their
defaults solely
by the database (using the 'DEFAULT' clause defined in the
SQL schema).
The point you raise is valid, however; it may be desirable
to have
per-user settings follow the cascading inheritance model
that
per-address settings do--at least for the settings that can
be assigned
reasonable defaults (i.e. almost any column in the
maia_users table with
a 'DEFAULT' clause). The 'spamtrap' column should
probably always
default to 'N' for safety reasons, but I don't see why
the other columns
with defaults shouldn't follow the inheritance model.
I've opened a ticket (#323
<htt
ps://secure.renaissoft.com/maia/ticket/323>) to
address this issue.
