Data Migration "MSN Groups" to "Google Groups"

I have intentions to eventually emigrate to Australia, looking for info I found and joined a group on MSN called "Deep in Australia." Incredibly own search engine does not have msn!, Queries are repeated countless times by this design flaw, so I decided to use their own "get out" all messages and put them in a search engine (access) to consult even offline .

But why not go any further?, I proposed and agreed move to googlegroups, which obviously has SEARCHES!, So apart from the lowering and parsing of the script I also htmls to upload the new group, by mail (2775).

All very nice but I ran into a problem, send me 51 emails continued blocking the user who was using to send them (thank goodness that you create another account to do this!), I describe it as "autoresponder" * 1, and good, but to me now fuck me, so I sent an email to uncle google to see how it could do, on account unblocked. Looking for info on how to do this, I found I had to send mails with intervals greater than 90 seconds, and that's how I did and finish the little job :)
On the other side attached to statistics from the "migration"
(I made a couple but never htmls migration : P )

Fall time of htmls: 60h (unattended obviously)

  • File Number: 19525
  • Disk Space: 950MB (htmls cigars)
  • Threads: 2775
  • Post: 14630
  • Lines scanned / parsed HTML: 596,300 (data files only)
  • Migration errors: 439 (duplicated or deleted)
  • Total Code: 14h
  • Execution of parsing: 5 '
  • MDB Size: 30MB, zipped 5MB
  • Beers: 2 glasses
  • Bathroom: 4 times, because of the beer
  • Cafe: 2 to counteract the beer
  • Aspirin: 1 to help the coffee
  • Beer: 2 cups kill insomnia.
  • : P

From this a year ago, I had to tell as story :)
* 1: Autoresponder: A device that uses google groups for the case of vacation autoresponders, imagine this scenario: I go on vacation and put an auto in the group discussing something and I get my these issues, it automatically forwards to Worldwide, in turn depending on the client and its configuration may reach the same mail he sent, and send it again and so on to infinity : P

If anyone is interested, leave the project source code , to make this "migration"

    How are you Daniel?

    If you do like I did (do not know if there is another simpler way), you have to use a mini-spider as blackwidow ( http://softbytelabs.com/us/bw/index.html ), low you everything, EVERYTHING the site, once you have downloaded (which will be thousands of html files), you can use the app I made, which parses the htmls (it's a bit complicated but you have it solved) and you put them in an MDB (Access) , then the other app (which is also in package), you can send it by mail each topic / thread

    I hope to serve you, greetings.

      Hello, if looking CMS, I recommend you drupal, it's Difficult to learn, But It is very flexible, you can do from blogs to newspapers up to, I do not know one CMS Developed in. Net, but I'm belive is expensive. WP does work very well for historical blogs, But if you want to do little more, I recommend you drupal. Regards
