Anyway, if someone has access to a Sprint-fed server, the muc.* >private (ha!) hierarchy contains the freebsd mailing-lists and is >distributed almost everywhere... Well, my upstream is Supernews/Remarq, so I figure that they should have a pretty comprehensive feedstock, being a commercial Usenet provider. Here's all I can get from them: muc.lists.freebsd.bugs muc.lists.freebsd.commit muc.lists.freebsd.current muc.lists.freebsd.hackers muc.lists.freebsd.hardware muc.lists.freebsd.isp muc.lists.freebsd.security I am using a sed script to munge the Newsgroups: line so I can pipe the muc.lists.freebsd.* in to my list.freebsd.* groups. The propagation of these lists seems spotty at best. I've only ever been able to get a handful of articles per day. My attempt was at "filling in" any holes left by the mail2news script which, for one reason or another, was directing stuff into the bit bucket. I tried using the muc lists before I setup the gateway. Too bad the number of articles available causes the evaluation of the implementation to register at a Suck Factor of 9.5. ;-) --J To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
