\fBlurker\-index\fR indexes messages from
63
10
standard input and stores them in the lurker database.
64
11
It imports either a single message, or a batch of messages
14
It is important to note that lurker messages
15
in order and may miss new messages
16
delivered during the import. For this reason, you should setup lurker
17
to receive new mail before importing old mail. Only
18
use lurker\-index on inactive mail folders!
20
By default, lurker\-index reads from standard input in mbox
21
format, delimited by 'From <addr> <date>' lines.
22
Be aware that if the mbox is not delimited correctly between
23
messages it will be interpretted as a single message with an
24
invalid date. To read other sources, see the '\-i' option.
25
If input is a single email, use '\-m'.

Import messages to the named mailing list. This should match
71
31
the value in the lurker.conf after the 'list = ' entry.
72
.IP "\fB\-b count\fP" 10
73
Import a batch of messages; flush every count messages. A
74
good value for count is 5. The larger this parameter, the more CPU
75
power lurker needs during import, but the less disk seeks.
77
It is important to note that lurker reads files from a
78
maildirs and mailboxes in order and may miss new messages
79
delivered during the import. For this reason, setting up lurker to
80
be invoked properly when new mail is delivered is essential. Only
81
use lurker\-index with '\-b' when importing from non-active mail
84
By default, lurker\-index reads from standard input in mbox
85
format, delimited by 'From <addr> <date>' lines.
86
Be aware that if the mbox is not delimited correctly between
87
messages it will be interpretted as a single message with an
88
invalid date. To read other sources, see the '\-i' option.
90
33
Import a single message. In this mode lurker will never
91
34
interpret 'From ' lines as message delimiters. When being fed
92
35
newly delivered mail, this is the preferred mode of operation.

Try to turn off the 'From ' escaping of your MTA when using

this mode as lurker does it's own escaping which is generally
