List archive (fwd)

[Robert Watson]

I've forwarded below Andreas' email about pulling down the IMAP archive
contents using fetchmail, which seems like a useful piece of knowledge to
me :-).  At this point I'll rely on the securityfocus archive to provide a
nice threaded web view, although the "official" archiving will be the IMAP
archive as it includes all posts on the list so far.  If anyone is
interested, I also have a college of other security-oriented mailing lists
(and also a fair number of BSD-oriented ones) archiving away, feel free to
peruse cyrus.watson.org using anonymous IMAP.

Thank you,
I've just managed to download the folder. Maybe you want to remove the
first few messages (confirmation of your subscription and such stuff).


In case you want to post how to retrieve the archive using fetchmail,
here is a (part of the) .fetchmailrc that worked for me:

poll cyrus.watson.org
  proto imap
  user anonymous
  folders lists.sec.posix1e
  keep
  limit 0
