Would it be possible once mail is back to query all people who use newsmail to forward the past 4 months (if they have it) to someone to perl-parse out the messages, and make the news posts. Just another random idea I had. I haven't yet killed every brain-cell with alcohol yet.
Perhaps, but i'd rather just get the raw data and work with it ourselves. it'll probably require a little massaging, and even at that, we're going to want to watch that like a hawk.
That's what the plan is for the dnews spool - Angelo is setting up a temp machine with dnews, which we'll then use to dump into the innd install on whitefox eventually. For the user submitted spools, we'll munge those in by hand when the time comes, which is what i was referring to above.
How about just getting incoming mail delivered at all, then worry about setting up all the other stuff in the mail config and re-merging with existing spools.
Mail with a bunch of spam in it is better than no mail at all at this point.
