COLLECTNEWS(8)


NAME

  collectnews - add news articles to Cyrus header files


SYNOPSIS

  collectnews [ -C config-file ]


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
  unless specified otherwise by -C.  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.


OPTIONS

  -C config-file
       Read configuration options from config-file.


FILES

  /etc/imapd.conf
