A few years ago I remember being able to download (from freebsd ftp server) mail spool files for the entire years worth of messages for a given mailing list. I would periodically, download these, parse them with a perl script and generate a file-based directory structure of all the message to search on.
Can you still download these? I was on ftp2.freebsd.org looking around and I didn't see them anywhere.
FreeBSD is now using Mailman for many lists, which keeps an archive at:
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/ http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions.mbox/freebsd-questions.mbox
That mbox file is 244MB in size, so I think that is what you are looking for. Otherwise, consider mailing <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> directly with your request....
