[Kroupware] cyrus mailbox mapping

Hi,

maybe someone has an idea for this:

cyrus internal names for mailboxes are these:
 - user.andreas		mailbox for user andreas
 - shared.info		shared mailbox "shared.info"
 - INBOX	mailbox "user.$user" of the user currently logged in.

so, the "INBOX" name feature is annoying but maybe necessary for some
broken mail clients. apart from that it is fine.

What I don't like is this: to deliver a mail via lmtp,
it has to be addressed to:
 - andreas@f.q.d.n		 user.andreas
 - imap+shared.info@f.q.d.n	shared.info

(if "postuser" is configured to "imap" in /etc/imapd.conf).

Wouldn't "user.info@f.q.d.n" and "shared.info@f.q.d.n" make a lot more
sence?

I don't like this inconsistency, and i wonder if there is some way to
fix it.

Also i wonder: currently to deliver a mail to shared.info i set the
access permissions to "anyone p". Is there a better way? Maybe i can
assign the right to some user and not to everyone? But which user would
that be? "cyrus" didn't work for me.

I deliver mail via lmtp to a unix domain socket, the lmtpd is called
with -a (but i don't see any effect with that).

Maybe someone knows more about these issues?

Regards, Andreas
