SYNOPSIS

11          fetchnews [ -C config-file ] [ -s servername[:port]]
12              [ -n ] [ -y ] [ -w wildmat ] [ -f tstampfile ]

DESCRIPTION

16       fetchnews  retrieves  news  articles  from a peer news server and feeds
17       them to a Cyrus server. fetchnews connects to  the  peer  specified  by
18       peername, requests new articles since the time stored in tstampfile and
19       feeds them to servername.
20
21       fetchnews reads its configuration options out of the imapd.conf(5) file
22       unless specified otherwise by -C.
23

OPTIONS

25       -C config-file
26              Use the specified configuration file config-file rather than the
27              default imapd.conf(5).
28
29       -s servername, --server=servername
30              Hostname of the Cyrus server (with optional port) to which arti‐
31              cles should be fed.  Defaults to "localhost:nntp".
32
33       -n, --no-newnews
34              Don't  use the NEWNEWS command. fetchnews will keep track of the
35              high and low water marks for each group and use  them  to  fetch
36              new articles.
37
38       -y, --yyyy
39              Use  4  instead of 2 digits for year. 2-digits are RFC 977 - but
40              not y2k-compliant.
41
42       -w wildmat, --groups=wildmat
43              Wildmat pattern specifying which newsgroups to  search  for  new
44              articles.  Defaults to "*".
45
46       -f tstampfile, --newsstamp-file=tstampfile
47              File  in which to read/write the timestamp of when articles were
48              last  retrieved.   Defaults  to  <configdirectory>/newsstamp  as
49              specified by the configuration options.
50
51       -a authname, --auth-id=authname
52              Userid to use for authentication.
53
54       -p password, --password=password
55              Password to use for authentication.
