Sudo mailing list download

The sudo mailing list!

The sudo mailing list is a great resource for discussing the sudo command and its usage. Here's how you can download the mailing list archives:

Method 1: Web Interface

You can access the sudo mailing list archives through the web interface provided by the mailing list server. Here's how:

  1. Go to the sudo mailing list archives page: https://lists.sudo.ws/pipermail/sudo-users/
  2. Click on the "Search" button to search for specific topics or keywords.
  3. Click on the "Archives" button to view the list of available archives.
  4. Select the desired archive (e.g., "2022", "2021", etc.) to view the list of messages.
  5. You can also use the "Threaded" or "Flat" view options to organize the messages.

Method 2: Mailing List Server

You can also download the mailing list archives directly from the mailing list server using the wget command (or your preferred download tool). Here's how:

  1. Use the following command to download the entire archive:

    wget -r -l 1 -A html,txt https://lists.sudo.ws/pipermail/sudo-users/

    This will download the entire archive, including HTML and text files.

  2. Use the following command to download a specific range of messages:

    wget -r -l 1 -A html,txt https://lists.sudo.ws/pipermail/sudo-users/2022/01/ -O sudo-users-2022-01.txt

    Replace 2022/01/ with the desired date range (e.g., 2021/12/ for December 2021).

Method 3: Mailing List Client

If you prefer to use a mailing list client, you can use a tool like mlmmj (Mailing List Mailer) to download the archives. Here's an example:

  1. Install mlmmj using your package manager (e.g., apt-get on Ubuntu).
  2. Run the following command to download the sudo mailing list archives:
    mlmmj -l sudo-users -a

    This will download the entire archive.

Remember to always check the mailing list archives for the latest information and updates on sudo usage and best practices.
