I've seen hints in the list archives about creating a mailbox called "bb.bulletinboard". Is this "user.X" and "bb.X" syntax important to Cyrus imapd?
yes. From the imapd.conf manpage:
sharedprefix: Shared Folders
If using the alternate IMAP namespace, the prefix for the
shared
namespace. The hierarchy delimiter will be
automatically
appended.
I've always created mailboxes with "user." as the prefix to any user's inbox and whatever follows the dot is the username and email address (without the @domain.com of course).
That's correct. If no "sharedprefix" is set, Share Folders aka Bulletin Boards are create without any prefix. If you set the prefix to "bb" you get names such as "bb.bulletinboard".
Can someone give me some specific detailed information on creating a bulletin board (rather than a shared folder as defined herein)? Maybe even including cyradm commands? Along the same lines, could folks share examples of how they are using these two different concepts in their organizations?
We're not really using them, but we have a few. I created them with cyradm like this:
cm betrieb-aktuell This is the ACL we're using: betrieb-aktuell: owner lrswipcda anyone lrsp
And then, just to make sure I understand, what are all of the ways that one can get a message into such a folder? Is copying and/or moving a message from one mailbox (in a MUA) to this public folder going to work?
Sure, if the ACL allows it.
(I would expect that it would using the IMAP command set)? Can one also do so using a MTA such as sendmail or postfix? If so, what address should be in the "To: " field for this to work? Say the mailbox created was: "bb.MyBulletinBoard" What address would I use to post to that using an MTA like postfix?
I don't know about postfix. With sendmail all names have to be lowercase. I'm also not sure about the prefix, so let's suppose the name were just "mybulletinboard". Then you would address that folder like this: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
