-Caveat Lector- One shouldn't have to take a whole server down for more than a day just to make a copy of the email traffic of all the newsgroups and email lists a server supports...a copy can be made while the server is up and functioning normally...even if the server WAS brought down for such a function, it should only take a couple of hours at most to make a copy of the data on the system...
In fact if the system is run properly, Yahoo's computer department should be making a full system backup on a weekly basis, so there should normally be a full system copy available at any time, albeit perhaps a few days old... Now if they wanted to install software that would MONITOR all email traffic to those newsgroups and email lists and flag those containing what are determined to be 'hot' words (ala AOHell), that would be another matter entirely -- the server WOULD have to be brought offline and kept offline to the general public as the new software was installed and tested...a process that WOULD take a better part of a day to complete...
