Example: if you have 50+ public folders relative to 10 departements, you have to find 10 users, one for each departement as admin of the filtering script.
At the end you'll have 10 special users: salespublicmanager prpublicmanager finanacepublicmanager hrpublicmanager etc. etc.
You can set up the squirrelmail web front end to sieve to make things easier for your users.
You can give to publicmanagers also the "lcr" permission to managers and delegate also the decisions about internal structure of public folders.
Don't know if this helps, but that's how i managed the problem.

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 .... FI
doesn'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
