I've been looking at delivery of incoming emails directly to a Cyrus 
IMAP shared folder. Quite simply I'd like to know if this is possible?

I have a shared folder on Cyrus like this
share/pfstaff

Other user folders are under
user/staff1
user/staff2
etc...

Currently Exim will deliver directly to the user mailboxes using the 
following router and transport

cyrus_vdom:
   driver = accept
   domains = +cyrus_domains
   transport = cyrus_ltcp
   no_more
...
cyrus_ltcp:
   driver = smtp
   protocol = lmtp
   hosts = 127.0.0.1
   allow_localhost

in /etc/cyrus.conf I have the following.
   lmtp          cmd="lmtpd -a" listen="lmtp" prefork=0
thus I know that Exim is delivering to Cyrus via unauthenticated LMTP.

If an email is sent to pfstaff I get and error reporting "550-Mailbox 
unknown.  Either there is no mailbox associated with this\n550-name or 
you do not have authorization to see it.\n550 5.1.1 User unknown"

I've tried different combinations in /etc/mail/aliases of 
"share.pfstaff", "pfstaff.share" "share+pfstaff" to no avail. Still the 
same "550 5.1.1 User unknown"

I'd like to know if it is possible for Exim to deliver directly to the 
mailbox share/pfstaff? and if so can someone suggest how this is 
achieved? There are a number of discussions about this but I can't tell 
from them if the final result I'm looking for has ever been achieved.

Regards.
