MAILESTD.CONF(5)	      File Formats Manual	      MAILESTD.CONF(5)

NAME
       mailestd.conf --	mailestd(8) configuration file

DESCRIPTION
       mailestd.conf is	the configuration file for the mailestd(8) daemon.

       The following options can be set:

       maildir directory
	       The   base  directory  instead  of  the	default	 ${HOME}/Mail.
	       mailestd(8) creates indexes for the mail	message	in the folders
	       under this directory and	uses some files	under from this	direc-
	       tory.

       socket path
	       The Unix-domain socket for communication	from mailectl(1).   As
	       the  default  relateve  path .mailestd.sock from	the maildir is
	       used.

       tasks number
	       The number of tasks allowed to prepare for indexing  paralelly.
	       The  default  value  is "4".  Specifying	a large	number may im-
	       prove the peformance, but cosumes the memory resource.  On typ-
	       ical environments, since	indexing the mail messages and putting
	       them into the datbase will be the performance bottle neck, this
	       variable	is not so important.

       monitor [disable] [delay	delay]
	       The monitor is enabled unless disable is	specified.   When  the
	       monitor	is  enabled, mailestd(8) will start indexing automati-
	       cally when changes are made  on	the  folder  already  indexed.
	       Specify	delay  in  milli  seconds instead of the default value
	       1500 which the mailestd(8) waits	for until it starts indexing.

       guess-parid
	       This option makes mailestd(8) to	create	a  parent  message  id
	       ("x-mew-parid")	attribue in the	database, when it finds	a mes-
	       sage which failed to create the parent message-id in the	normal
	       way by guessing guessing	by the "Subject" and "Date".

       trim-size size
	       Specify size at which mailestd(8) trims the mail	message	before
	       creating	an index  for  the  message.   Thd  default  value  is
	       "131072"	(128K) bytes.

       suffixes	suffix ...
	       The file	name suffixes of the mail messages gathered for	index-
	       ing.  The default is "" (none).

       folders folder ...
	       The  folder  name  patterns  mailestd(8)	creates	index for.  An
	       shell pattern ("openbsd-*" for  example)	 is  usable.   If  the
	       folder  starts  with  "", matched folders are ignored.  Folders
	       not matched any	are  target  for  indexing.   The  default  is
	       "!trash !casket !casket_replica".

       log path	path
	       The   log  file	path.	As  the	 default,  the	relative  path
	       mailestd.log to maildir is used.

       log rotate [count count]	[size size]
	       The log rotation	behaviour.  As the default, "8"	for the	 count
	       and "30720" (30K) bytes are used.

       database	path path
	       Thd  database  directory.   As  the  default, the relative path
	       casket is used.

       debug level debug-level
	       The debug level instead of the default value "0".

       The current line	can be extended	over multiple lines using a  backslash
       (`\').	Comments  can  be  put	anywhere in the	file using a hash mark
       (`#'), and extend to the	end of the current line.  Care should be taken
       when commenting out multi-line text: the	comment	is effective until the
       end of the entire block.

       Argument	names not beginning with a letter, digit, or  underscore  must
       be quoted.

       Additional  configuration  files	 can be	included with the include key-
       word, for example:

	     include "/etc/mailestd.conf"
