COLLECTNEWS(8)
NAME
  collectnews - add news articles to Cyrus header files

SYNOPSIS
  collectnews

DESCRIPTION
  Collectnews reads article data from the standard input.  It uses this
  information to update the files necessary for reading the articles through
  the Cyrus IMAP server.  Collectnews is designed to be used by InterNetNews
  to update the IMAP database as the articles come in.

  The input is processed as an INN overview stream written as a ``WR'' entry
  in the newsfeeds(5) file.  This data consists of lines of text of the
  format newsgroup/article number, seperated by commas.

  Collectnews reads its configuration options out of the imapd.conf(5) file.
  The optional newsprefix option specifies a prefix to be prepended to
  newsgroup names to make the corresponding IMAP mailbox names.	 The required
  partition-news option specifies the pathname prefix to the IMAP news
  mailboxes.  The value of partition-news concatenated with the dots-to-
  slashes-converted value of newsprefix must be the pathname of the news
  spool directory.
