Hi,
When someone CC's a message to more than one list, the associated news
group never gets a copy of the message. In order to compensate for this
happening over such a long period of time, I think the approach we need
to take to fix this is:
1) Stop mailing list daemon and nntpd
2) Delete all news folders
3) Upgrade both mailman and nntpd
4) Import all mailing list messages into the news folders
5) Start mailing list daemon and nntpd.
Does that sound sensible to you?
It depends on whether you want the new server to be an eternal archive
for the mailing lists. If you have articles set up to expire after a few
months, or whatever period, just blow the folders away and then reset
the gateway. Upgrades sounds like a good idea if the problems are due to
bugs in the software rather than just configuration errors.
Alternatively, how about updating the gmane stuff? Some of the groups
are there and some are not...
I wouldn't know who to contact to get that sorted out, though that would
solve everything as it offloads the NNTP maintainership onto GMane!
A cursory glance at
http://www.gmane.org/
seems to suggest that you just go there and fill out the form.
Regards,
@ndy
