Unless your users are trying to implement a mailing list of some sort or do something very complicated, sieve should serve all of their needs. There's also a performance hit for using procmail -- the number of processes you need to fork to do a given mail delivery goes way up. timsieved implements the MANAGESIEVE protocol for which there are a number of web apps that can handle it (in addition, of course, to sieveshell). > And the last (and probably the most stupid) question is regarding > 'details delivery'.

As long as sendmail isn't stripping what is between the + and the @ this should be easy, just give "anyone" the "p" right on the folders in question.
