deliver¶
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¶
- 
-Cconfig-file¶
- Use the specified configuration file config-file rather than the default imapd.conf(5). 
- 
-d¶
- Ignored for compatability with /bin/mail. 
- 
-raddress¶
- Insert a Return-Path: header containing address. 
- 
-faddress¶
- Insert a Return-Path: header containing address. 
- 
-mmailbox¶
- Deliver to mailbox. If any userids are specified, attempts to deliver to - user.userid- .mailboxfor 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. 
- 
-aauth-id¶
- Specify the authorization id of the sender. Defaults to “anonymous”. 
- 
-quser-id¶
- Deliver message even when receiving mailbox is over quota. 
- 
-l¶
- 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.
