No, the commented out version is correct.  The difference being that 
Jamie is using the '-l' option which means that the client is speaking 
LMTP directly (with deliver being a middle-man).  In your case, you're 
just telling deliver what to do and it creates the LMTP session with the 
appropriate commands/arguments.
