Sorry for the delay in looking into this. I looked at the code, and finally realized why it was written in the way that it was:

- For fileinto, we use the credentials of the script owner when delivering to the mailbox and optionally setting IMAP flags. We know that the script owner has explicitly told us what mailbox to deliver to and with which flags. Of course, the script owner must still have the appropriate ACL.

- For keep, we use the credentials of the LMTP authenticated/authorized user (if any). We treat keep no different than a regular LMTP delivery where no sieve script is executed. Yes, an explicit keep is a result of a sieve script, but since the destination mailbox was not explicitly provided by the script owner, how is the script engine supposed to know if the recipient wants some anonymous user to be able to deliver to the mailbox and optionally set IMAP flags on messages? If the ACL is set accordingly for a particular auth'd sender (or anonymous), then the message can be delivered and possibly have flags set.

If anyone has any thoughts on how to improve on this without creating a security hole, I'm all ears.

The whole mailbox/append code leaves me a bit lost, but I've tracked down the general area of the problem, Ken maybe you can work out what the right fix is, I don't think it's hard.

sieve_fileinto() does the following:

1. cast void * sc -> script_data_t *sd
2. pass "sd->username" as the "authuser" param to deliver_mailbox()
3. deliver_mailbox() calls append_setup() with "authuser" as the "userid" param 4. append_setup() copys the "userid" parameter into the "appendstate.userid" struct area 5. during append_commit() "appendstate.userid" is used as the username to add the seen flag to

That all works fine.

However, sieve_keep() does the following:

1. cast void *mc -> deliver_data_t *mydata
2. pass "mydata" as the "mydata" param to deliver_local()
3. deliver_local() calls deliver_mailbox(), with "mydata->authuser" as the "userid" param

The value in mydata->authuser is not the username, in fact they're empty:

(gdb) p *mydata
$29 = { ..., authuser = 0x0, authstate = 0x0}

This means the seen flag never gets stored correctly if you're using keep or the implicit keep, you have to use fileinto.

I'm not sure of the best way of fixing this. I can see the obvious solution (in sieve_keep, cast void * sc -> script_data_t *sd, and copy authuser and authstate sd to mydata), but that doesn't feel right to me.

Ken, do you know what the right solution is here?
