Mark and Brad... I was able to pull up the mbox file using Mark's sample URL. However, it only goes as far back as May 2003. When I look at my archives that seems to be when it first started creating Gzip'd Text Files for each month.
Beyond that I have stuff that dates as far back as Feb, 2001, but it didn't appear to be inside the mbox file. Is there another mbox file floating around or does that really old stuff predate the mbox file format? If so, is it collected into one file somewhere by any chance? Thanks for the help and info. --sam On 11/2/05, Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Brad Knowles wrote: > > >At 11:51 PM -0500 2005-11-01, Sam Santos wrote: > > > >> Unfortunately, I don't have access to the mailman installation... at > least > >> not as far as I can tell (warning: I'm fairly new to this side of > things). > >> Is there any hope for my archives at all? > > > > You may be able to grab the "cooked" text format archives, modify > >them to look more like proper 7th edtion "mbox" format raw source > >archives, and then import them into your new mailing at your new > >provider.
