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 un-
	     der this directory and uses some files under from this directory.

     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 improve the
	     peformance, but cosumes the memory resource.  On  typical	environ-
	     ments,  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 moni-
	     tor  is enabled, mailestd(8) will start indexing automatically 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 message
	     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 indexing.
	     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 com-
     menting 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	keyword,
     for example:

	   include "/etc/mailestd.conf"
