NAME

deliver − Delivers mail to an IMAP mailbox

SYNOPSIS

/usr/bin/deliver [−d] [−r address] [−f address] [−m mailbox] [−a auth-id] [−e] [−q] [−F flag]... [userid]... 

deliver −E days

OPTIONS

−dIgnored for compatibility with /bin/mail

−r address
Inserts a Return-Path: header containing address

−f address
Inserts a Return-Path: header containing address

−m mailbox
Delivers to mailbox.  If any userids are specified, attempts to deliver to user.userid.mailbox for each userid. If the access control list (ACL) on any such mailbox does not grant the sender the right to post mail (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, the deliver command attempts to deliver to mailbox.  If the ACL on mailbox does not grant the sender the p right, the delivery fails. 

−a auth-id
Specifies the authorization id of the sender.  Defaults to “anonymous”.

−eEnables duplicate delivery suppression.  This suppresses delivery of the message to a mailbox if a message with the same message-id (or resent-message-id) is recorded as having already been delivered to the mailbox.  Records the mailbox and message-id/resent-message-id of all successful deliveries. 

−qDelivers a message even when the receiving mailbox is over its quota. 

−F flag
Sets the system option or keyword flag on the delivered message. 

−E days
Removes the duplicate delivery database of entries older than days. 

DESCRIPTION

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

The deliver command reads its configuration options out of the imapd.conf file.  Depending on the setting of the reject8bit field in the imapd.conf file, deliver either rejects messages with 8−bit-set characters in the headers or changes these characters to X.
