Hello all, I've recently had an unfortunate data loss - a mailing list which I run was lost in a server outage, and for some reason my hosting company was unable to locate the archive backups.
However - I have been running then entire list admin through a GMail account, and I do in fact have every single post made to the list, and I can easily recover all of the posts from there. What I'm contemplating doing is writing a python script to a) Recover all of the posts in their original form using GMail api b) Reconstitute the archives somehow from this data Now - without getting too much into the details of how the python side of things would work, does anyone know how I would go about re-creating the archives? Would it be possible just to re-send every single mail and somehow fake the headers to make mailman index them correctly ? Or, better still, is there an existing script/utility/commandline switch that I could just run on a directory of email files? Any input would be most appreciated, Sincerely, Alias Cummins ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq01.027.htp
