We have a patch (for 2.0.16 +) that provides the same functionality, in case a mail is posted to a user whose mailbox has not been created yet. This patch introduces a new boolean configuration option called "createonpost" through which admins can activate or deactivate this feature. This functionality for the time being applies only for user.<username> folders and not for BB or Subfolders (It would be possible though by applying some additional checks dependant on the mail service architecture, to address these cases too) In our deployment we use LDAP for mail routing, so this feature is quite safe, since there is no way to route a mail to lmtpd if there isn't a corresponding object in LDAP. The existence of autocreate and createonpost provides us the luxury to define our users only in LDAP. IMHO, these features will be very useful for large sites, that couldn't afford or wouldn't like to have a per-user mechanism to create INBOXes. nikos voutsinas
