NAME

       lurker-regenerate — imports messages into the archive

SYNOPSIS

       lurker-regenerate [<bin-dir>]  [<config-file>]

DESCRIPTION

       lurker-regenerate  regenerates a lurker database.  It generates a new database first, then
       replaces the old one with the new one. You will need enough diskspace for a full  copy  of
       the database that you want to regenerate.  The two arguments are optional.

       Regenerating  the  lurker  database  is  the  only  way to recover disk space from deleted
       emails. If you delete an entire mailing list, you should regenerate the database.

       Be aware of the fact that lurker-regenerate supports only databases from lurker >= 0.6. If
       you  want  to  regenerate databases from earlier versions of lurker, you'll need to rm -rf
       the whole database and reimport it manually.

OPTIONS

       bin-dir   The directory containing  lurker-{index,list,params,prune}.   This  defaults  to
                 where 'make install' placed them.

       config-file
                 The config-file for which lurker-regenerate rebuilds the database.
