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.
