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  ac-
       cording	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.
