10 doveadm [-Dv] save [-S socket_path] -A [-m mailbox] [mail-file]

15 doveadm save can be used to save messages. This can be useful for
16 scripts and for debugging. Sieve is not invoked for saved messages,
17 but quota is enforced.
18
20 Global doveadm(1) options:
21
22 -D Enables verbosity and debug messages.
23
24 -o setting=value
25 Overrides the configuration setting from /etc/dovecot/dove‐
26 cot.conf and from the userdb with the given value. In order to
27 override multiple settings, the -o option may be specified mul‐
28 tiple times.
29
30 -v Enables verbosity, including progress counter.
31
32 Command specific options:
33
34 -A If the -A option is present, the command will be performed for
35 all users. Using this option in combination with system users
36 from userdb { driver = passwd } is not recommended, because it
37 contains also users with a lower UID than the one configured
38 with the first_valid_uid setting.
39
40 When the SQL userdb module is used make sure that the iter‐
41 ate_query setting in /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext matches
42 your database layout. When using the LDAP userdb module, make
43 sure that the iterate_attrs and iterate_filter settings in
44 /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf.ext match your LDAP schema. Oth‐
45 erwise doveadm(1) will be unable to iterate over all users.
46
47 -F file
48 Execute the command for all the users in the file. This is sim‐
49 ilar to the -A option, but instead of getting the list of users
50 from the userdb, they are read from the given file. The file
51 contains one username per line.
52
53 -S socket_path
54 The option's argument is either an absolute path to a local UNIX
55 domain socket, or a hostname and port (hostname:port), in order
56 to connect a remote host via a TCP socket.
57
58 This allows an administrator to execute doveadm(1) mail commands
59 through the given socket.
60
61 -u user/mask
62 Run the command only for the given user. It's also possible to
63 use '*' and '?' wildcards (e.g. -u *@example.org).
64 When neither the -A option, nor the -F file option, nor the
65 -u user was specified, the command will be executed with the
66 environment of the currently logged in user.
67
68 -m mailbox
69 Store mail to specified mailbox instead of INBOX.
70
72 echo "hello, world" | doveadm save -u testuser@testdomain
