6 deliver - deliver mail to an IMAP mailbox
7
9 deliver [ -C config-file ] [ -d ] [ -r address ]
10 [ -f address ] [ -m mailbox ] [ -a auth-id ]
11 [ -q ] [ userid ]...
12 deliver [ -C config-file ] -l
13
15 Deliver reads a message from the standard input and delivers it to one
16 or more IMAP mailboxes.
17
18 Deliver reads its configuration options out of the imapd.conf(5) file
19 unless specified otherwise by -C.
20
22 -C config-file
23 Read configuration options from config-file.
24
25 -d Ignored for compatability with /bin/mail.
26
27 -r address
28 Insert a Return-Path: header containing address
29
30 -f address
31 Insert a Return-Path: header containing address
32
33 -m mailbox
34 Deliver to mailbox. If any userids are specified, attempts to
35 deliver to user.userid.mailbox for each userid. If the ACL on
36 any such mailbox does not grant the sender the "p" right or if
37 -m is not specified, then delivers to the INBOX for the userid,
38 regardless of the ACL on the INBOX.
39
40 If no userids are specified, attempts to deliver to mailbox. If
41 the ACL on mailbox does not grant the sender the "p" right, the
42 delivery fails.
43
44 -a auth-id
45 Specify the authorization id of the sender. Defaults to "anony‐
46 mous".
47
48 -q Deliver message even when receiving mailbox is over quota.
49
50 -l Accept messages using the LMTP protocol.
51
53 Depending on the setting of reject8bit in imapd.conf(5), deliver either
54 rejects/accepts messages with 8-bit-set characters in the headers. If
55 we accept messages with 8-bit-set characters in the headers, then
56 depending on the setting of munge8bit, these characters are either left
57 un-touched or changed to `X'. This is because such characters can't be
58 interpreted since the character set is not known, although some commu‐
59 nities not well-served by US-ASCII assume that those characters can be
60 used to represent characters not present in US-ASCII.
61
62 A method for encoding 8-bit-set characters is provided by RFC 2047.
