       deliver - Cyrus IMAP documentation

       intro

SYNOPSIS

          deliver [ -C config-file ] [ -d ] [ -r address ]
                 [ -f address ] [ -m mailbox ] [ -a auth-id ]
                 [ -q ] [ userid ]...
          deliver [ -C config-file ] -l

DESCRIPTION

       deliver  reads  a  message  from  the  standard  input and delivers it to one or more IMAP
       mailboxes.

       deliver reads its configuration options out of the  imapd.conf(5)  file  unless  specified
       otherwise by -C.

OPTIONS

       -C config-file
              Use   the   specified  configuration  file  config-file  rather  than  the  default
              imapd.conf(5).

       -d     Ignored for compatibility with /bin/mail.

       -r address, --return-path=address
              Insert a Return-Path: header containing address.

       -f address
              Insert a Return-Path: header containing address.

       -m mailbox, --mailbox=mailbox
              Deliver to  mailbox.   If  any  userids  are  specified,  attempts  to  deliver  to
              user.userid.mailbox for each userid.  If the ACL on any such mailbox does not grant
              the sender the "p" right or if -m is not specified, then delivers to the INBOX  for
              the userid, regardless of the ACL on the INBOX.

              If  no userids are specified, attempts to deliver to mailbox. If the ACL on mailbox
              does not grant the sender the "p" right, the delivery fails.

       -a auth-id, --auth-id=auth-id
              Specify the authorization id of the sender.  Defaults to "anonymous".

       -q, --ignore-quota
              Deliver message even when receiving mailbox is over quota.

       -l, --lmtp
              Accept messages using the LMTP protocol.

NOTES

       Depending on the setting of reject8bit in imapd.conf(5),  deliver  either  rejects/accepts
       messages  with  8-bit-set characters in the headers.  If we accept messages with 8-bit-set
       characters in the headers, then depending on the setting of  munge8bit,  these  characters
       are either left un-touched or changed to "X".

       This is because such characters can't be interpreted since the character set is not known,
       although some communities not well-served by US-ASCII assume that those characters can  be
       used to represent characters not present in US-ASCII.

       A method for encoding 8-bit-set characters is provided by RFC 2047.
