At least, I'm pretty Yes, and you will need the most recent postfix *snapshot* version for it to work, too. -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them.

Re: how to post to shared folders
Hi Ken, By default, you'd send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] See the 'postuser' option in imap.conf postuser is not set, therefore defaults to empty, but thanks for the hint that there is a configuration option. Keep in mind, that unless jstaerk and chanser use SMTP AUTH and Postfix passes this info to Cyrus, that they still won't be able to post to the mailbox. Most folks end up giving the 'p' right to user 'anonymous'. Our server is a smtp-auth-ONLY box so everybody has to state some credentials. I don't know if or how postfix passes this to cyrus, is there a special mechianism that has to be enabled? At least, I'm pretty sure Postfix uses SASL for that, so there might be a chance that they both use the same user names...? Anyway, I'm still getting mails to [EMAIL PROTECTED] in my fetchall-mailbox :-( -- mit freundlichen Grüßen Jochen Stärk www.usegroup.de Albigerstr. 22 55232 Alzey Tel: 06731/997997-5 Fax: 06731/997997-6 Mobil: 0177/4512645 --- Cyrus Home Page: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus Cyrus Wiki/FAQ: http://cyruswiki.andrew.cmu.edu List Archives/Info: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/mailing-list.html

Most folks end up giving the 'p' right to user 'anonymous'. I've been too distracted with other things to follow it closely, but I think I noticed in the announcement for a recent Postfix snapshot that AUTH credentials are now being cached in the queue file. This means that eventually it may be possible to use AUTH creds for posting like you can currently do with Sendmail.

Hi there,
I'm using postfix&cyrus and I've some users e.g. "jstaerk", "chanser"
with their respective folders (user.jstaerk, user.chanser). Now I've
created a shared top level folder ("usegroup") with jstaerk lrswipcda,
cyrus lrswipcda and chanser lrswip.
I can move messages into this folder and I assume the other users can
see them.
The thing is: I have no idea how to post into that folder. Posting to
"usegroup" results in recipient name rejected, posting to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] makes no sense and does not work, posting to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] appends to my inbox. I also tried getting a
usegroup sub-mailbox beneath users.jstaerk and posting to
[EMAIL PROTECTED], but that again delivers into my mailbox.
Do I have to change something in postfix? In cyrus?

Re: how to post to shared folders
Hi Stefan,
Do I have to change something in postfix? In cyrus?
I've made an entry ("usegroup") in postfix so mail go to cyrus. Then an dummy
entry ("user.usegroup") is needet to put s sieve-script which is moving all
mail to the usegroup-folder. I hope someone knows a better way. But it works
fine.
Seems quite reasonable to me but I'm not sure how to restrict posting,
then. Anybody could post to the "user" usegroup and if the mailbox
usegroup is "p" for the user usegroup, I think no posts (from anybody)
will be rejected without further sieve-rules...?
