DESCRIPTION

       Fetchnews  retrieves  news  articles from a peer news server and feeds them to a Cyrus server.  Fetchnews
       connects to the peer specified by peername, requests new articles since the time stored in tstampfile and
       feeds them to servername.

       Fetchnews reads its configuration options out of the imapd.conf(5) file unless specified otherwise by -C.

       -n     Don't use the NEWNEWS command.  Fetchnews will keep track of the high and low water marks for each
