NAME
       syncnews - synchronize IMAP news mailboxes with active file

SYNOPSIS
       syncnews [ -C config-file ] active-file

DESCRIPTION
       Syncnews	 compares the list of IMAP news mailboxes with the news active
       file.  News mailboxes which are not  listed  in	the  active  file  are
       removed.	  Newsgroups  listed  in  the  active file but not in the IMAP
       mailboxes file have IMAP mailboxes created.

       A newsgroup must have a status of ``y'', ``m'', or ``n'' to be  consid‐
       ered listed in the active file.

       Syncnews	 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.

FILES
       /etc/imapd.conf

BUGS
       If a newsgroup is listed in the active file, but does not have the news
       spool directories created, syncnews will create those news spool direc‐
       tories in the process of creating the IMAP mailbox.  The created direc‐
       tories  are  likely  to then have ownership and permissions that do not
       permit the news server to write article files.
