'Ruthless' email cleanup

• If I've missed any scoop "bounce accounts" (will take up to 24 hrs for all to clear), then let me know.
• If you have issues accessing your wikinewsie.org email, let me know.

I have, ruthlessly, culled the scoop dist list, zapped numerous 100% full user mailboxes, cautioned those who I can see have set up forwarding to untrusted 3rd parties that those rules will be deleted, and reset (to random values) a huge swathe of - apparently abandoned email accounts.

It is going to be easier to to rebuild a list of "active" accredited reporters - and assume everyone else is 'lapsed', than anything else. Not bad for cooped up on a Virgin train with the most-shitty WiFi I've dealt with in an age.

I may have been a little over-zealous, so anyone who may hear grumblings - let me know. --Brian McNeil / ^talk 17:18, 8 September 2013 (UTC)
