NAME

8       deliver - deliver mail to an IMAP mailbox
9

SYNOPSIS

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

DESCRIPTION

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

OPTIONS

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

NOTES

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.
