Hey All,
Does anyone on this mailing list have enough clout to get us access
to the RH mailman archives in pop3 and/or imap format?
Have you tried yet via the Helpdesk?
There shouldn't be any privacy or confidentiality concerns since we
are talking about the external Mailman instance. We could just ask
for all public archives, or provide a specific list.
If you need to exercise some clout, I recommend we work through Max.
He knows as many IT folks in Raleigh as the rest of us, and he's the
group manager.
As a first step, file a Helpdesk ticket, asking that Max be on the
Cc:. Work it until you hit a brick wall; it should take about 3 days
for that to happen initially IME. :) This just means, it's likely an
unusual request, so it'll take a bit to get it sorted to the mail
admins, who will then say, "WTF?!?" for a short time, and that's when
we find out if we need the Max-axe to break down doors.
- Karsten, who figures it's a good thing the mail admins go, "WTF?!?"
at requests for blobs of raw mail data
