NAME

       mdeliver — deliver messages or import mbox file

SYNOPSIS

       mdeliver [-c] [-v] [-X flags] dir < message
       mdeliver -M [-c] [-v] [-X flags] dir < mbox

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.   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.
