The man page for deliver says 'If the ACL on any such mailbox does not grant the 
sender the "p" right...'.  I don't see how deliver can determine who the sender is 
unless it uses the username under which the command is being run.  I was using the 
username of the owner of the mailbox.

The man page for cyradm says that the "p" right is "post (send mail to submission 
address for mailbox)".  I'm afraid I could not work out what that meant!

I must say, as a new user of cyrus, I am finding the documentation very difficult.  
The man pages seem to assume you know a lot about cyrus, but the other documents 
don't give you the detail that is needed.

Anyhow, thanks for the information.  I set p rights for anyone and it now works.

Phil.
