Something like that, yes. >> I think it is already possible to return special use attributes from >> userdb, although I haven't verified that. > > Neither have I, but I see no reason why it shouldn't work.

Yes, although that doesn't mean that users can modify the special-use attributes themselves, unless some sort of web management interface has a dialog for that. The METADATA/CREATE-SPECIAL-USE capabilities would provide a standard means for a user to do this, from within the MUA. > But to make it really useful, it would require Sieve support.
