Oh my, that's no good.  Hmm, the file that tracks per-group article
counts for outgoing email seems to have gone wrong -- it was actually
empty, which caused it to start emailing everything out again from
scratch (back to 1998, or whatever was the first message in each group).  I've
restored it from a recent backup, and the duplicates should stop
soon.

I think this is what prevented indexing of new NNTP articles -- it was
busy (re)mailing out every article that had ever been posted (to people
subscribed to news by mail).
