That should be documented more clearly in the manpage.

Because each argument is now really optional, none are
required before
dbmail-export can begin its work.

Do you have a suggestion for what the minimum set of
arguments should
be? Perhaps the -u argument should require some kind of
wildcard? Maybe
an "are you sure you want to dump _all_ mailboxes"
with -y?

My suggestions:

Export all users:
dbmail-export *

Just typing "dbmail-export" should be equal to
"dbmail-export -h"

Aaron,

My suggesting is never run without one, at least one
argument, for all, i 
woul'd say "--all-users" or "--all" or
similar.
What do you thing?
I'm not making this as a rule, just a sugestiong, tell me
what you think.

By default like Gier said:

> Just typing "dbmail-export" should be equal
to "dbmail-export -h"


I agree, it should display it's help with none argument.

I agree here. Exporting all should never occur by accident.

I re-read the dbmail-users man page and dbmail-user.c, and
there's code
to glob with ? and * on aliases and forwards. So what I'll
do them is
make the -u argument mandatory again, then toss this great
function into
the mix the same way it is used in dbmail-user.c:

    match_list = match_glob_list(userspec, user_list); 

So if we match users this way, what about mailboxes? Should
we try to
have filesystem semantics where Foo* matches Foo, FooBar,
but not
Foo/Bar? This would be in contrast to IMAP mailbox search
semantics (and
so I don't like the idea, but I'm just throwing it out there
for sake of
discussion).
