As the newsgroups were reset, the watermark is obviously incorrect. Is there a way to reset this watermark so that the system starts gating news correctly again?
You can use bin/withlist to manipulate the list attribute usenet_watermark. Set it to a number 1 less than the number of the first article you want from the news server or to None if you just want to 'catch up' without retrieving articles or to 0 if you want to retrieve all articles on the news server.
For example
bin/withlist -l <list_name>
and at the >>> prompt
m.usenet_watermark = 5
or
m.usenet_watermark = None
and then
m.Save()
and then a control-D to exit.
