Bug#482642: "cyrdeliver" command is ignoring the mailbox parameter (-m) and is delivering messages to INBOX.

I successfully delivered to a submailbox on 2.2.13-17 like so:

~$ cat /tmp/email | /usr/sbin/cyrdeliver -m 'spam' dwhite

which placed the email into user.dwhite.spam.

I also had to set an ACL for 'anyone p', as discussed in the manpage.

specifying '-m INBOX.spam' appears to be treated as a typo, and places the
message into the user's INBOX (user.dwhite).

specifying '-m spam', but without having an ACL of 'anyone p' also
delivered the message to my INBOX rather than INBOX.spam.

This seems to be consistent with the existing man page for cyrdeliver.
