       fetchnews - Cyrus IMAP documentation

       Retrieve new articles from peer and feed to Cyrus

SYNOPSIS

       fetchnews [ -C config-file ] [ -s servername[:port]]
           [ -n ] [ -y ] [ -w wildmat ] [ -f tstampfile ]
           [ -a authname [ -p password ]] peername

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.

OPTIONS

       -C config-file
              Use  the  specified  configuration  file  config-file  rather  than   the   default
              imapd.conf(5).

       -s servername
              Hostname  of the Cyrus server (with optional port) to which articles should be fed.
              Defaults to “localhost:nntp”.

       -n     Don’t use the NEWNEWS command. fetchnews will keep track of the high and low  water
              marks for each group and use them to fetch new articles.

       -y     Use 4 instead of 2 digits for year. 2-digits are RFC 977 - but not y2k-compliant.

       -w wildmat
              Wildmat  pattern  specifying which newsgroups to search for new articles.  Defaults
              to “*”.

       -f tstampfile
              File in which to read/write the timestamp of when  articles  were  last  retrieved.
              Defaults to <configdirectory>/newsstamp as specified by the configuration options.

       -a authname
              Userid to use for authentication.

       -p password
              Password to use for authentication.
