Subject: Argh, my ISP has swapped newservers and the article nubmers are different.
Date: 11 Aug 1998 14:34:39 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <52g1f31yu8.fsf@sean.ebone.net> (raw)
My ISP decided not to make it widely known that they
were changing the DNS RRs associated with the newserver
I use, as part of a clean-up following its acquisition.
The result is a "new" newserver with much lower article
numbers in such groups as comp.dcom.sys.cisco and the
like, so gnus reports empty newsgroups.
Other than manually editing the .newsrc.eld file (not so
hard, I don't read that much news, but I'm lazy), is there
any sane way to synchronize to the new server, bearing in
mind that I have a number of articles in the cache, which
ultimately will clash with newly arriving articles (someday)?
Sean.
