This command is intended primarily for scripting, and as such does not require a client-side configuration file, and does not record any state. The DESTINATION argument is interpreted as follows: If it begins with a dot or a slash and ends with a slash, it is assumed to be a path to a maildir. If it begins with a dot or a slash and does not end with a slash, it is assumed to be a path to an mboxrd file. If it begins with a pipe, it is assumed to be a path to an external MDA command.
