DELIVER(8)DELIVER(8)NAMEdeliver - deliver mail to an IMAP mailbox
SYNOPSISdeliver [ -C config-file ] [ -d ] [ -r address ]
[ -f address ] [ -m mailbox ] [ -a auth-id ]
[ -q ] [ userid ]...
deliver [ -C config-file ] -l
DESCRIPTION
Deliver reads a message from the standard input and deliv-
ers it to one or more IMAP mailboxes.
Deliver reads its configuration options out of the
imapd.conf(5) file unless specified otherwise by -C.
OPTIONS-C config-file
Read configuration options from config-file.
-d Ignored for compatability with /bin/mail.
-r address
Insert a Return-Path: header containing
-f address
Insert a Return-Path: header containing
-m mailbox
Deliver to mailbox. If any userids are specified,
attempts to deliver to user.userid.mailbox for each
userid. If the ACL on any such mailbox does not
grant the sender the "p" right or if -m is not
specified, then delivers to the INBOX for the
userid, regardless of the ACL on the INBOX.
If no userids are specified, attempts to deliver to
mailbox. If the ACL on mailbox does not grant the
sender the "p" right, the delivery fails.
-a auth-id
Specify the authorization id of the sender.
Defaults to "anonymous".
-q Deliver message even when receiving mailbox is over
quota.
-l Accept messages using the LMTP protocol.
NOTES
Depending on the setting of reject8bit in imapd.conf(5),
deliver either rejects messages with 8-bit-set characters
in the headers or changes these characters to `X'. This
is because such characters can't be interpreted since the
character set is not known, although some communities not
well-served by US-ASCII assume that those characters can
be used to represent characters not present in US-ASCII.
A method for encoding 8-bit-set characters is provided by
RFC 2047.
