NAME

mdeliver — deliver messages or import mbox file

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

mdeliver adds a message given on the standard input as a new message in the maildir dir.

When -M is used, mdeliver will regard the standard input as an MBOXRD mailbox, split it on “From ” and deliver each message, decoding it according to the MBOXRD convention. In this case, mdeliver will set the mtime according to the value of ‘Date:’ and the maildir flags according to the value of ‘Status:’ or ‘X-Status:’.

The messages are delivered in a reliable way and use the default umask(2).

Please note that no syntactical checks are performed on the messages.

The options are as follows:

-M

Deliver each message of an mbox.

-c

Deliver messages into cur/, not new/ (the default).

-v

Print each new message filename after delivery.

-X flg

Override the flags of the new message file to be flg.

EXIT STATUS

The mdeliver utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.
