mail queue breakage :x

mail queue breakage :x

[Eric Wong]

Apologies for the flood of mail, apparently there was a lot of
stuff backed up for a month which was getting archived but not
delivered.

Anyways NNTP and HTTPS archives have been working, and I forgot
SMTP was still supposed to go out :x

Maybe the attached script will help detect mirror mismatches
in the future (run via cron).  But of course the original
mail failure was due to the crontab of the mlmmj user
getting clobbered :x

Anyways, feel free to exit/run it yourself, with or without tor
and add mirrors and whatnot.  And you can hammer the hell out
of https://bogomips.org/unicorn-public/new.atom or
http://ou63pmih66umazou.onion/unicorn-public/new.atom or
nntp://news.public-inbox.org/

(it doesn't run unicorn or nginx :P)

Just be warned that attached validation script checks against
deliveries to mail-archive.com; so no, don't hammer the
mail-archive.com servers; I don't know how they set their server
up...

But yeah, anything running off bogomips.org is designed to
handle being on the frontpage of major news aggregators and
then some.

[PATCH] ISSUES: expand on mail archive info + subscription disclaimer

[Eric Wong]

Tis better to pull than push, or something like that.
