8 deliver - deliver mail to an IMAP mailbox
9
11 deliver [ -C config-file ] [ -d ] [ -r address ]
12 [ -f address ] [ -m mailbox ] [ -a auth-id ]
13 [ -q ] [ userid ]...
14 deliver [ -C config-file ] -l
15
17 Deliver reads a message from the standard input and delivers it to one
18 or more IMAP mailboxes.
19
20 Deliver reads its configuration options out of the imapd.conf(5) file
21 unless specified otherwise by -C.
22
24 -C config-file
25 Read configuration options from config-file.
26
27 -d Ignored for compatability with /bin/mail.
28
29 -r address
30 Insert a Return-Path: header containing address
31
32 -f address
33 Insert a Return-Path: header containing address
34
35 -m mailbox
36 Deliver to mailbox. If any userids are specified, attempts to
37 deliver to user.userid.mailbox for each userid. If the ACL on
38 any such mailbox does not grant the sender the "p" right or if
39 -m is not specified, then delivers to the INBOX for the userid,
40 regardless of the ACL on the INBOX.
41
42 If no userids are specified, attempts to deliver to mailbox. If
43 the ACL on mailbox does not grant the sender the "p" right, the
44 delivery fails.
45
46 -a auth-id
47 Specify the authorization id of the sender. Defaults to "anony‐
48 mous".
49
50 -q Deliver message even when receiving mailbox is over quota.
51
52 -l Accept messages using the LMTP protocol.
53
55 Depending on the setting of reject8bit in imapd.conf(5), deliver either
56 rejects/accepts messages with 8-bit-set characters in the headers. If
57 we accept messages with 8-bit-set characters in the headers, then
58 depending on the setting of munge8bit, these characters are either left
59 un-touched or changed to `X'. This is because such characters can't be
60 interpreted since the character set is not known, although some commu‐
61 nities not well-served by US-ASCII assume that those characters can be
62 used to represent characters not present in US-ASCII.
63
64 A method for encoding 8-bit-set characters is provided by RFC 2047.
