What happens when you save a message to the shared mailbox from an
     

IMAP
 

client?

     

All goes pretty well (the message is saved with no errors), except one
   

 

moment: instead of logging in by group, i have to create a user, named
   

 

like the mailbox. This is the bother.

   

What MTA (sendmail, qmail, etc) are you using?

     

Postfix and its Sendmail compatibility interface

   

Does it have an alias for the shared mailbox that would explain the
behavior?
     

No 8*) This was checked at first.

   

How are you delivering mail to Cyrus?

     

With Postfix, if I'm not mistaken.

   

How are you addressing the message (i.e. To: [EMAIL PROTECTED])? 

     

Yes, exactly this way.

Thanks.
Dmitry Terentyev.
   

I am not sure how 1.5.19 treated group acls on shared mailboxes, and I
can't find any documentation on that version (I deleted it long ago).
 

Sorry for bothering you again, but how can it be done in newer versions?

the /etc/pam.d/cyrus file is:

auth       required    pam_smb_auth.so debug
auth       optional    pam_group.so
Thanks.
Dmitry Terentyev.
