DESCRIPTION

       Cyrfetchnews  retrieves news articles from a peer news server and feeds
       them to a Cyrus server.  Cyrfetchnews connects to the peer specified by
       peername, requests new articles since the time stored in tstampfile and
       feeds them to servername.

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