A mail administrator is any user in group "mailadm".
A mail administrator can use authenticate in SASL with the mail
administrator's credentials as the authentication identity, and some other
user as the authorization identity.
For example, if user "fred" is a mail administrator and is using the SASL
PLAIN (password based) authentication, he can log in as user "fred" and
his password, but specify user "joe" as the authorization identity. The
result is a session logged in as joe.
In a c-client based application (e.g., Alpine), this can be accessed with
a mailbox specification such as
{server.example.com/user=joe/authuser=fred}INBOX
For other IMAP applications, read the instructions for how to send a
separate authentication and authorization userid.

Could you elaborate on setting up a "mail administrator userid". I have seen
references to this capability but it isn't clear to how to configure it. We
set restrictBox = -1 when we build our server so I don't know if that would
limit the ability to support a "mail administrator userid"
