There are some caveats about regular users using 'deliver' to put
mail in their mailboxes. IIRC, it should be wrapped so that they can't
abuse it to get around mailbox quotas. Then again, if not using quotas,
then it isn't a problem... The cyrus documentation goes into these issues
better than I can remember.
