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
  -d  Ignored 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".

  -e  Enables 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.

  -q  Delivers 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.

FILE
  /etc/imapd.conf
      Configuration file for the IMAP server
