Hi all,

I know you get tired of me asking about transferring articles between
servers but I'm shit scared I'm going to flood the network with 20
years worth of articles.

On my new server, all the articles have the following path:

Path: newsfeed.endofthelinebbs.com!spool1.usenet.blueworldhosting.com!usenet.blueworldhosting.com!not-for-mail

I'm going to rename my old server to "oldnewsfeed" and use the
following to feed all the articles from my existing server to the new
server...

on the old server

cd /news/etc
perl -ne 'chomp; our ($hash, $timestamps, $_) = split " "; \
print "$_\n" if $_' history \
| tr . / > /news/spool/outgoing/list
innxmit newsfeed.endofthelinebbs.com list

I'll configure incoming.conf newsfeeds and innfeed.conf so that I'm not
feeding any other servers and that oldnewsfeed is the only server able
to send to that host.


Then I'll add my peers back in. Is that it? Am I safe? Am I going to
send everything off to my peers?

and in case I do...sorry :)

Why? Who is interested in 20 years old spam? Are you mad?

One month is enough but even that is too much. I only scan spams that arrived in the last 24 hours.

I have do it with pullnews and set my newsfeed file with a exclusion
path (if u add it, the article u receive never be feeded to the other's
your peer).

Hi Nigel,

I'm going to rename my old server to "oldnewsfeed" and use the
following to feed all the articles from my existing server to the new server...

on the old server

cd /news/etc

If your history file is in /news/etc, that will be fine. (It is usually
in something like /news/db or /var/lib/news).
OK with the rest. Follow well the 6.4 subject entry in the FAQ
(xrefslave, etc.).

I'll configure incoming.conf newsfeeds and innfeed.conf so that I'm not feeding any other servers and that oldnewsfeed is the only server able
to send to that host.

Then I'll add my peers back in. Is that it? Am I safe?

Seems good.

Am I going to send everything off to my peers?

No you aren't.

Yes, thanks for pointing that out. I misread that bit.

There's only me using the server for now so xrefs isn't going to be a
problem. I can just delete all the articles in my newsreader and
refresh.

I'll configure incoming.conf newsfeeds and innfeed.conf so that I'm
not feeding any other servers and that oldnewsfeed is the only
server able to send to that host.

You sound more confident than I am :)

No you aren't.

See above!

Ok. Going to start the transfer going so wish me luck.

Well, with any luck, it's working. It looks like some peers will have
to restart or something. I'll be sending out an email shortly.

Looks good here (i2pn.org). Articles coming in and going out normally.
