NAME

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, --server=servername

Hostname of the Cyrus server (with optional port) to which articles should be fed. Defaults to "localhost:nntp".

-n, --no-newnews

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, --yyyy

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

-w wildmat, --groups=wildmat

Wildmat pattern specifying which newsgroups to search for new articles. Defaults to "*".

-f tstampfile, --newsstamp-file=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, --auth-id=authname

Userid to use for authentication.

-p password, --password=password

Password to use for authentication.
