Hi all,
I've just copied my mailman configs from one system to another, and
after reinstalling innd on a private news server, I'm now getting the
following in the logs:
Feb 26 23:50:02 2006 (2757) rgsouthern: [0..0] Feb 26 23:50:02 2006 (2757) nothing new for list rgsouthern Feb 26 23:50:02 2006 (2757) rgsouthern watermark: 12 Feb 26 23:50:02 2006 (2757) melbwireless: [0..0] Feb 26 23:50:02 2006 (2757) nothing new for list melbwireless Feb 26 23:50:02 2006 (2757) melbwireless watermark: 37
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
and at the >>> prompt
m.usenet_watermark = 5
or
m.usenet_watermark = None
and then
m.Save()
and then a control-D to exit.

Excellent - this worked like a charm. Thanks :)

Sendmail is like emacs: A nice operating system, but missing an editor and a MTA.

Also, if you want to set the watermark to None to "catch up" and start retrieving with the next post, you can use the _mass_catchup feature on the Mail<->News gateways page rather than withlist. If you want to set 0 or a specific message number, you still need to use withlist as described in the prior post.
