NAME

       dspam_merge - merge several users' metadata into a composite

SYNOPSIS

       dspam_merge [--profile=PROFILE]	user1 user2 ... userN -o username

DESCRIPTION

       dspam_merge  merges  several users' metadata into a single user's dictionary. This tool is designed to create global users and seeded data.
       The hit sounds for each token and per-user totals are added together to produce a single composite  dataset.  After  creating  a  composite
       user, dspam_clean should be run with the -p option to clean up extraneous data.

       NOTE : Merges may take a considerable amount of time. This could potentially increase the load on the server or even slow down the delivery
       of email. A merge should only be performed when the system is fairly acquiesce.
