NAME
       FUD - provide information about user mailboxes

SYNOPSIS
       fud [ -C config-file ] [ -U uses ] [ -T timeout ] [ -D ]

DESCRIPTION
       FUD  is	a long lived datagram daemon started from master that provides
       information about when a user last read	their  mail,  when  mail  last
       arrived	in a user's mailbox, and how many messages are recent for that
       user.

       Note that for FUD to  run  properly  you	 must  set  proto=udp  in  its
       cyrus.conf  services  entry.   prefork=1 is also recommended.  FUD will
       automatically proxy any and all FUD requests to the appropriate backend
       server if it is runing on a Cyrus Murder frontend machine.

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

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

       -U uses
	      The maximum number of times that the process should be used  for
	      new connections before shutting down.  The default is 250.

       -T timeout
	      The  number of seconds that the process will wait for a new con‐
	      nection before shutting down.  Note that a  value	 of  0	(zero)
	      will disable the timeout.	 The default is 60.

       -D     Run external debugger specified in debug_command.

FILES
       /etc/imapd.conf
	      Default configuration file.

       /etc/cyrus.conf
	      Cyrus Master process configuration file.

BUGS
       Though  not really a bug, FUD will silently ignore any requests that it
       does not consider valid.

       Also not really a bug, FUD requires that the anonymous user has	the  0
       (zero)  right on the mailbox in question.  This is only a "bug" because
       0 is not a standard IMAP ACL bit.

       FUD is an experimental interface meant to provide information to	 build
       a  finger-like service around.  Eventually it should be superceded by a
       more standards-based protocol.
