NAME

ezmlm-import - import messages into an ezmlm archive

SYNOPSIS

ezmlm-import dir [ /path/to/mbox ]

DESCRIPTION

ezmlm-import scans the input file /path/to/mbox (default: stdin) for messages, and writes each message into a separate file in dir*/archive***. The input file is expected to be in the standard UNIX "mbox" file format, which uses lines starting with "From " to mark the start of each message. All text before the first message is discarded, as are the separator lines themselves.

WARNING: mbox should be an absolute pathname. Otherwise it will be relative to the directory dir.

SEE ALSO

ezmlm(5), ezmlm-archive(1), ezmlm-idx(1),

NOTES ezmlm-import does not create any message indices so it will be necessary to run the following command after the import has completed:

ezmlm-idx dir Also if the archive is indexed (by use of the ezmlm-make -a option) run the following command to rebuild the subject and thread indices:

ezmlm-archive dir
