I have a question about the mailbox submission addresses and permissions...

Let's say I have a mailbox in my root called "notices". Let's also say that I have set the ACL so that the user "patrick" can do everything, and everyone else can just read.

> lam notices

anyone lrs

I originally assumed that with these permissions, I would be able to send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED], and it would get delivered into this mailbox. Instead, I get a "permission denied" bounceback. It then occurred to me, that it would be difficult for Cyrus to safely identify incoming emails coming from the user "patrick", as the email comes through the MTA.

So, is it therefore the case that if you want to use the mailbox submission addresses, they would basically have to be write-able by anyone? And thus, if I didn't want to have that kind of ACL, the only way to deliver messages into this folder would be to use my IMAP client to drag a message in there?

Thanks,

Patrick
