I downloaded it and installed it and then looked at the cyrus doc pages on the web. From: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/cyrus-overview.html#news "The IMAP server can export netnews newsgroups as IMAP mailboxes. This is done by creating a partition named news which points to the news spool directory and arranging for the IMAP server's auxiliary databases to be maintained. The server software includes programs for integrating with the INN netnews server. The following information assumes working knowledge of the INN netnews server." Which is way way more complicated than what I am looking for.
