SYNOPSIScollectnews [ -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. Col-
lectnews 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.
