Wow, that's an innovative trick! Since it's -I which requires the caller to be root, it gets around the normal tmail security checks that prevent the use of # names. I never would have thought of it, even though I wrote the code!

Thanks for sharing.

Have you considered moving to mix format?

I use tmail to deliver directly into folders in the #shared namespace, from the system /etc/aliases file, like so:

shared-address: |"/usr/local/bin/tmail -I '#shared/group/folder' daemon"

where ~imapshared/group/folder is an MBX file with mode 0660 and ownership daemon:group.
