<h2>Description<a class="headerlink" href="#description" title="Permalink to this heading"></a></h2>
<p><strong>nntpd</strong> is an NNTP server. It accepts commands on its standard input
and responds on its standard output. It MUST invoked by
<a class="reference internal" href="master.html#std-cyrusman-master-8">master(8)</a> with those descriptors attached to a remote client
connection.</p>
<p><strong>nntpd</strong> reads its configuration options out of the <a class="reference internal" href="../configs/imapd.conf.html#std-cyrusman-imapd.conf-5">imapd.conf(5)</a> file unless specified otherwise by <strong>-C</strong>. The optional <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">newsprefix</span></code> setting
specifies a prefix to be prepended to newsgroup names to make the
corresponding IMAP mailbox names. The optional <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">newspostuser</span></code>
setting specifies the special userid to be used when constructing the
<em>To:</em> header address for following up to articles when read via IMAP.
The optional <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">newspeer</span></code> setting specifies the fully qualified hostname
of the upstream news server to which articles are fed. The optional
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">allownewnews</span></code> setting enables the NNTP NEWNEWS command.</p>
<div class="admonition note">
<p class="admonition-title">Note</p>
<p>For servers with a large volume of articles, the NEWNEWS command can
be expensive.</p>
</div>
<p>If the directory <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre"><configdirectory>/log/</span></code><em>user</em> exists, then
<strong>nntpd</strong> will create protocol telemetry logs for sessions
authenticating as <em>user</em>. The telemetry logs will be stored in the
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">log/</span></code><em>user</em> directory with a filename of the <strong>nntpd</strong> process-id.</p>
