OK, now I'm replying to my own post, because I got a minute and went ahead and tried it.
I was able to create a symlink called ".alias" in my Maildir of my account. The command I typed is ln -s /usr/mail/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/Maildir/ /usr/mail/my_account/Maildir/.alias This was all on one line, with one space between each section. Your email client may word-wrap, so beware... I now have a pretty little folder called alias that has the alias account's inbox. Note: no other folders were brought across, so this isn't really a full "big brother" type thing. But it does give you the ability to share the inbox for processing incoming mails and whatnot...

I'm not sure what you mean by it not being legal but... Two ways of doing this come to my mind. 1. Either know all of your user's passwords or create "duplicate" accounts for your administrator with the same Maildir. (very bad) Depending on the number of accounts, this could require significant increases in allowed connections, could swamp the server, etc. Just realize the potential costs... 2. Create symlinks in your administrator's Maildir to each of your user's mail. I'm not an expert, but I think this might work... just be sure you name the links well. (better, but still bad) Why do you really want to do this? If you need filtering, then filter. If you need Antivirus, do it with an antivirus program, not a user going in to each account. Finally, be sure you have a good TOS that protects you as much as possible. Also make sure you make it clear that employees may only use the email server for business purposes, in a good Acceptable Use document. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Fabiano Felix Sent: Tuesday, November 04, 2003 11:23 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [courier-users] How to share the entire user mailbox to an admin user? Hi all, I'm wondering that if is possible (using a type of "sharing" command) to sharing the entire mailbox of all users to an admin user (for example, to remove some determined messages). I know that it's not legal, but one of my customers are questioned it for me. Case possible, how this user can connect to this folders? He must subscribe to all mailboxes?
