Are you worrying about how user's reading newsgroups via IMAP shared folders will post to these groups? If so, you can allow this fairly easily by using the newspostuser option and the lmtp2nntp software. Take a look at doc/install-netnews.html for details on how to set this up.
OK, now that I've read the docs again I see how this is supposed to work. The MUA can just "reply" to the created To: address, and the SMTP server that the MUA sends the message to for delivery diverts it to lmtp2nntp.
Exactly.

In my case, the MUA is going to be SquirrelMail, so this will be _really_ easy to do, no configuration required on the user's part at all.
Just had another thought: this works fine for replies, but not for users who want to start new threads in the folder. For that they'd need to use the post+news.group.subgroup syntax, right? If they used an MUA with direct posting support, the posted message wouldn't have the right To: header and noone would be able to reply to it.
If you're talking about posting via NNTP, the article will still end up having the To: header added by nntpd (if configured to do so).
