from the fine manual:
-d addresses...
Deliver messages to the recipients specified by addresses. This option
is mostly used for delivery from an MTA. Seperate multiple addresses
by spaces.
-u usernames...
Deliver messages straight to the given username. Seperate multiple
usernames with spaces.
username != address.
dbmail-smtp -d is typically used in postfix/master.cf:
dbmail unix - n n - - pipe flags=
user=dbmail:dbmail argv=/usr/sbin/dbmail-smtp -d ${recipient}
which historically was the only way to plug dbmail into the mta.
So, if you want to deliver to a *user* use -u, but if you want to deliver to an
*address* and you don't know who that address belongs to, use -d.
