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 considered 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 directories in the process of creating the IMAP  mailbox.   The
       created  directories  are  likely  to then have ownership and permissions that do not permit the news
       server to write article files.
