dbmail-deliver [common options] --to-header headerfield [options]

DESCRIPTION

The dbmail-deliver program inserts messages from the commandline or from any MTA into DBMail. The program reads from standard input.

OPTIONS

-d, --to-address addresses...
    Deliver messages to the recipients specified by addresses. This option is mostly used for delivery from an MTA. Separate multiple addresses by spaces.

-t, --to-header headerfield
    Deliver messages to the recipient MIME header specified in headerfield. The default header to use is the "Delivered-To:" header. The headerfield should be lower case e.g. delivered-to

-u, --to-user usernames...
    Deliver messages straight to the given username. Separate multiple usernames with spaces.

-m, --mailbox mailboxname
    Deliver messages to mailbox mailboxname of the recipient. If this mailbox does not exist yet, it is created. Sieve scripts will be run normally, possibly altering the destination mailbox.

-M, --mailbox-force mailboxname
    Deliver messages to mailbox mailboxname of the recipient. If this mailbox does not exist yet, it is created. Sieve scripts are not run. Permission checks are not performed for mailbox creation or message delivery.

-r, return-path returnpath
    Set return path for bounces and other error reports to return path.

COMMON OPTIONS

-f, --config configfile
    Specify an alternate config file. Use dbmail-<utility> --help to show the default location.

-q, --quiet
    Quietly skip interactive prompts and helpful status messages which would otherwise be printed to stdout. Use two -q’s to silence errors which would otherwise be printed to stderr.

-v, --verbose
    Operate verbosely. Some of the utilities in the DBMail suite can take two -v’s for extra verbosity. Those which don’t understand this convention won’t complain about having the extra -v and will simply operate at their normal verbosity.

-V, --version
    Show the version and copyright, then exit.

-h, --help
    Show a brief summary of options, then exit.
