Hi all,
 I know you get tired of me asking about transferring articles between
servers but I'm shit scared I'm going to flood the network with 20
years worth of articles.
 On my new server, all the articles have the following path:
 Path:
newsfeed.endofthelinebbs.com!spool1.usenet.blueworldhosting.com!usenet.blueworldhosting.com!not-for-mail
 I'm going to rename my old server to "oldnewsfeed" and use the
following to feed all the articles from my existing server to the new
server...
 on the old server
   cd /news/etc
  perl -ne 'chomp; our ($hash, $timestamps, $_) = split " "; \
    print "$_\n" if $_' history \
    | tr . / > /news/spool/outgoing/list
     innxmit newsfeed.endofthelinebbs.com list
 I'll configure incoming.conf newsfeeds and innfeed.conf so that I'm not
feeding any other servers and that oldnewsfeed is the only server able
to send to that host.
  Then I'll add my peers back in. Is that it? Am I safe? Am I going to
send everything off to my peers?
 and in case I do...sorry :)

I have do it with pullnews and set my newsfeed file with a exclusion path (if u add it, the article u receive never be feeded to the other's your peer).
Sincerely
