[volunteers] Speaker Coordinator Introduction

[Rick Moen]

So, just to update that.  Not all the mboxes are actually essential or 
useful to back up.   The huge mailman-owner.mbox is pretty much just 
spam.  It's a record of all the mail that entered all of the mailing
lists' queues, including the spam from non-subscribed addresses that 
was held for review, never approved, and expired out without hitting the
target mailing lists.

Also, I _think_ the svlug-old.mbox was a safety backup during a mailbox
repair.  I'll have to verify that.  Anyway, omitting those cuts the size
by about 2/3:

/var/local/mailman/archives/private/{carpool.mbox,jobs.mbox,officers.mbox,smaug.mbox,speakers.mbox,svlug-announce.mbox,svlug.mbox,volunteers.mbox,volunteers-old.mbox,web-team.mbox}

I'm now doing a manual initial backup of just those 239 MB of files,
onto my own server:

# rsync -e /usr/bin/ssh -ax lists.svlug.org:/var/local/mailman/archives/private/{carpool.mbox,jobs.mbox,officers.mbox,smaug.mbox,speakers.mbox,svlug-announce.mbox,svlug.mbox,volunteers.mbox,volunteers-old.mbox,web-team.mbox}/" /usr/local/src/rickstuff/svlug/mboxes
