My mistake, I assumed you were talking about public folders, which are |
| 14 |
called "bulletin boards" in cyrus-imapd speak. You use the plus addressing |
| 15 |
to post to them, for example by emailing bb+public.blah. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
As far as filing stuff directly into folders, I use sieve for that, much |
| 18 |
less administrative overhead than setting up aliased email addresses and |
| 19 |
messing with such granular acls. But it is nice to have the functionality |
| 20 |
to do it either way.... |

Yep, shared folders are referred to as "bulletin boards" by cyrus. They are |
| 26 |
nice to do things like have "spam@××××××.com" drop directly into |
| 27 |
public.spam, then having spamassassin scan the underlying directory in the |
| 28 |
background and update its baysian database... The bulletin boards are |
| 29 |
posted to by aliasing address@××××××.com to bb+public.spam, or you can |
| 30 |
email them directly to that address. |
| 31 |
|

The problem with using plus addressing to file emails into the specific |
| 33 |
folder of a user account is that you have to allow post access to anyone, |
| 34 |
which would allow anyone to email directly to your folders (as opposed to |
| 35 |
allowing your sieve scripts handle it). |
