Negative number for digest size
If I set the digest size threshold to -1, will that make the digest size unlimited, and it will send once per period specified in the digest frequency setting?

No. Setting digest_size_threshold to anything <=0 will send a digest on every post. You have to just set it to a very large number (or a reasonable value for the largest you want the digest to grow before it is sent).
However, when periodic digests are sent has nothing to do with Digest
Frequency. That setting which is misnamed and improperly described (see
<https://gitlab.com/mailman/postorius/issues/395>) controls only how
often the digest volume number is incremented and issue number reset.
The frequency of periodic digests is controlled by when cron runs the
mailman digests --periodic command.

Is it possible to only send "periodic" digests via CRON and not use the digest size as a threshold for sending them?

Set the list's digest size threshold to a large positive number. Setting it negative will not work. It will send a digest with every message.

Thanks, I'll experiment with that setting especially with our more high volume lists.
