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

then delivers to the INBOX for the
userid, regardless of the ACL on the INBOX.

mailbox. If the ACL on
mailbox does not grant the sender the "p" right, the delivery fails.

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

-q |

NOTES
Depending on the setting of reject8bit in imapd.conf(5), deliver
either rejects/accepts messages with 8-bit-set characters in the headers.
If we accept messages with 8-bit-set characters in the headers, then depending
on the setting of munge8bit, these characters are either left un-touched
or changed to X.
This is because such characters cant 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.
