NAME
       deliver - deliver mail to an IMAP mailbox

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 deliv-
       ers 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
	      Read configuration options from config-file.

       -d     Ignored for compatability with /bin/mail.

       -r address
	      Insert a Return-Path: header containing

       -f address
	      Insert a Return-Path: header containing

       -m 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
	      Specify  the  authorization  id  of   the	  sender.
	      Defaults to "anonymous".

       -q     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 messages with 8-bit-set characters
       in the headers or changes these characters 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.

FILES
       /etc/imapd.conf
