Hi there
I had this exigence some month ago, and i found this workaround for filtering public folders.
To filter emails directed to public folder i created a special user account "publicmanager", so i configured the aliases in MTA to send all mails directed to public folders to user "publicmanager", then i setted for this user a sieve script that posts each message in the appropriate public folder (and subfolder, of course). This is a stupid setup but it works so well.
Obviously the user publicmanager must have "p" permission on each public folder and subfolder.
Let me know if this helps.
Bye
Paolo

i've just a simple question about sieve filtering shared (bb+....) mailboxes: until now, we only used sieve script for user mailboxes (user.xxx), but with the increasing used of shared mailboxes (w/acl), there's a growing demand for sieve scripting...
Google-ing/digging the list, I just found messages ("Re: System-wide sieve filter" - 06/18/2004) argueing there were currently no way to implement "wide" (not user related) sieve scripts
Can anyone confirm this ? Any clues out there ?
TIA.
PS. we're running Cyrus 2.2.10 + Sieve 2.2 + sendmail 8.12.8p1 on FreeBSD 4.8/10 boxes.

I also though about this workaround, halas there are so many shared folders (50+) that this solution would become quickly hard to maintain :/
Apparently you're facing the same problem : it seems there aren't any ways to filter shared mailboxes "out of the box" ( no joke here ;) )
For example if you want your "publicmanager" to filter 2 separate shared folders, you'll face this dilemna :
. (make your MTA aliases bla and foo -> publicmanager)
. users of "bb+bla" want emails coming from [EMAIL PROTECTED] to be posted (moved) under bb+bla.XX (a simple "fileinto" so far)
. at the same time users of "bb+foo" want emails also coming from [EMAIL PROTECTED] to be posted under bb+foo.XX
you'll have to make/manage many cases in publicmanager's sieve script
The other drawback of this solution is that *you* have to manage the whole script ("parts" of it can't be delegated)...
Furthermore, *IIRC* sieve scripts can't be "nested" (if I understand RFC3028 § 2.10.7, sieve implementation must support at least fifteen levels of nested test list), for example :
IF <condition A> then
IF <condition B> then
action
FI
ELSE
....
FIdoesn't seem applicable (no test inside another test) - which of course (if my assumption about nested tests is true) tend to make the script more "complicated" :/
I'll dig further...
Thanx paolo
