I saw it, but wasn't sure it was applicable. I was told earlier that the postuser ("Conference" in my case) didn't need to be an actual user on the mail system. I'm trying to clear up that confusion now, but am not getting a clear answer.Does the postuser need to be a true, actual user on the system for shared mailboxes and bulletin boards to function?
No.
Is it possible to have shared mailboxes/bulletin boards exist outside of the user mailbox heirarchy,
Yes. But you still need a postuser to inject them into the mail system hinting that they are for delivery to shared folders.
post or bb are common choices. --- Cyrus Home Page: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus Cyrus Wiki/FAQ: http://cyruswiki.andrew.cmu.edu List Archives/Info: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/mailing-list.html
