Hi,
Set too_old (in days) to allow these older messages on to the system. I
believe the default is 20 days.
too_old 100
DNews will remember the old items it rejected so it can tell other feeds it
doesn't want the items should they offer them via an ihave feed. In order to
be able to suck the items again, you will need to do a rebuild_index to make
DNews forget about them.
tellnews rebuild_index
Then wait patiently until that finishes (progress can be monitored from
'tellnews status'), and do as you did previously.
I would also recommend -
suck_requeue true
This will cause DNews to bring the groups up to date every time it is
sucked, changing to the next group when the limits are reached, and
requeuing the incomplete group.
