Great, now it works! Thanks a lot.
BUT for my understanding:
- the "p" right was not set automatically to folders under user.xyz
So i had to set it manually the folder(s) directly. Is this always the
case?
- Whose "p" right is needed? "Anonymous" worked. But I thought that the
rights
of the sender of the message is somehow relevant. So I can NOT give
certain
sender the right to post to public folders?



It is assumed that only some subfolders of users mailbox should be able to receive mail messages from the outside. Others are for that user's internal use. How would you like to have your "docs" subfolder, for instance, flooded with some mail, while you use that folder for oyur own mail sorting?


Of course, if the server can sort it out, it is a different matter.

One other question that I have, is, is there any way to give "p" permission to user "cyrus" and use it?

I mean, I'm not thrilled with having "anyone" or "anonimous" authentications authorized to post to such folders or to public shared folders. True, it would take some effort to abuse it (if it is even possible), but I'd still like it out of the picture. I would like the message submission via LMTP to be authenticated (automatically?) as user "cyrus", while those who connect to the IMAP server cannot post to public folders.

Any idea?

Nix.
