Cyrus imap documentation perform operations on the duplicate delivery database

Overview

ctl_deliver is used to perform various administrative operations on the duplicate delivery database.

ctl_deliver reads its configuration options out of the imapd.conf(5) file unless specified otherwise by -C. The configdirectory option in imapd.conf(5) is used to determine the default location of the delivery database.

Options

-C config-file

Use the specified configuration file config-file rather than the default imapd.conf(5).

-d, --dump

Dump the contents of the database to standard output in a portable flat-text format.

-f filename, --filename=filename

Use the database specified by filename instead of the default (configdirectory/deliver.db).

Examples

ctl_deliver -d

Dump configdirectory/deliver.db to STDOUT

ctl_deliver -d -f /tmp/deliverdb.txt

Dump configdirectory/deliver.db to /tmp/deliverdb.txt.

Files

/etc/imapd.conf, <configdirectory>/deliver.db
