If one uses sendmail on the cyrus server, can a user with the proper ACL
settings send messages to sub folders under a shared mailbox? I get the
sense from the Cyrus overview that this is not possible since sendmail
doesn't authenticate the username.
I attempted to try and send messages to a subfolder and wasn't able to
get it to work unless I set the ACL for the subfolder such that it allowed
posting for anyone.
Here is what I did to configure this:
I created a mailbox for the sys user, user.sys. Under this mailbox, I
added user.sys.perf. The ACL for user.sys is such that no one except the
administrator can read it. user.sys.perf is set so that anyone can read it
but not post to it. I added posting permission to my account, coleman.
When I send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED], as coleman on a different
computer, the message is delivered to user.sys, not user.sys.perf. Is
this the expected behavior? If not, what am I doing wrong. If sendmail
can't enable this feature, what MDA can do the authentication so it can
be sent to the subfolders without having to grant posting to anyone?
Thank you,
