I guess Dovecot has an LDA called deliver. What is it and how do I use
it? Or is it ready to be used. can't find any docs on it.

It appears the recent -test series is the only one to have the deliver agent. It is not in -stable or the "normal" branch (see TODO file). deliver appears to take just two arguments: -d user (local user who is to receive the message - default to self) -a path (auth master socket path) You could try: deliver -a /var/run/dovecot/login/default < sample.email.txt Zach.
