ACLs(access control lists), cyrus may be the only one of the major MTAs to impliment them, I'm not sure. You can read up on them here: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/cyrus-overview.html#acl you *can* provide anonymous permissions, but by default only the "user" associated with the account gets permissions. So for each mailbox I create, I must modify the acl to give my primary account full access to it. the advantage of this also comes into play with shared folders. You can make a generic folder for everyone to use(or a group of people), and grant them access individually. e.g. a mailing list which everyone wants to read, subscribe 1 inbox, provide everyone access to it, everyone would have read, list, rights(the system maintains an internal list of read messages for each user), and only allow some users write access, or delete access(or you could allow everyone). it works well, I like the system a lot. nate -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
