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 Use the specified configuration file config-file rather than the
26 default imapd.conf(5).
27
28 -d Ignored for compatibility with /bin/mail.
29
30 -r address
31 Insert a Return-Path: header containing address.
32
33 -f address
34 Insert a Return-Path: header containing address.
35
36 -m mailbox
37 Deliver to mailbox. If any userids are specified, attempts to
38 deliver to user.userid.mailbox for each userid. If the ACL on
39 any such mailbox does not grant the sender the "p" right or if
40 -m is not specified, then delivers to the INBOX for the userid,
41 regardless of the ACL on the INBOX.
42
43 If no userids are specified, attempts to deliver to mailbox. If
44 the ACL on mailbox does not grant the sender the "p" right, the
45 delivery fails.
46
47 -a auth-id
48 Specify the authorization id of the sender. Defaults to "anony‐
49 mous".
50
51 -q user-id
52 Deliver message even when receiving mailbox is over quota.
53
54 -l Accept messages using the LMTP protocol.
55
57 Depending on the setting of reject8bit in imapd.conf(5), deliver either
58 rejects/accepts messages with 8-bit-set characters in the headers. If
59 we accept messages with 8-bit-set characters in the headers, then de‐
60 pending on the setting of munge8bit, these characters are either left
61 un-touched or changed to "X".
62
63 This is because such characters can't be interpreted since the charac‐
64 ter set is not known, although some communities not well-served by
65 US-ASCII assume that those characters can be used to represent charac‐
66 ters not present in US-ASCII.
67
68 A method for encoding 8-bit-set characters is provided by RFC 2047.
