I did:

# echo hello | /usr/libexec/dovecot/deliver
Fatal: destination user parameter (-d user) not given

# echo hello | /usr/libexec/dovecot/deliver -d foo
# tail /var/log/dovecot/dovecot-deliver.log
deliver(foo): Mar 04 14:36:27 Error: Can't connect to auth server at 
/var/run/dovecot/auth-master: No such file or directory

foo$ echo hello | /usr/libexec/dovecot/deliver
foo$ more  foo/cur/1204638363.P28199Q0M553430.blade25,S=11:2,S
