RE: [courier-users] Re: IMAP Folders
Hi
The sample you provided works for a courier-{user}-default file but
not a courier-default file.
courier-{user}-default is run under the {user} account
courier-default is run under the courier daemon account (i.e. courier)
Since any mail delivery to a Maildir by the courier-default file will
only be readable by the courier daemon account, what use is a
courier-default file?

You can implement this using an intelligent .courier-default file (all
on
one line):
|| x=`echo $DEFAULT | tr '/' '.'`; test -d $HOME/Maildir/.$x || exit
|| 0;
echo $HOME/Maildir/.$x/. ; exit 99
Haven't really tested this, but it should work. Haven't also looked at
this
closely, but it should be safe from envelope-based attacks. A shell
script
is also not a terribly efficient way to go about this, but you can
always
write some tiny executable binary that does the same thing.
To send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]'s folder INBOX.foo.bar, the address
would
be [EMAIL PROTECTED], or [EMAIL PROTECTED]

RE: [courier-users] Re: IMAP Folders
Hi
Sorry Sam.
I shouldn't have posted the last message. I got a bit confused with the
$HOME/.courier-default and /aliasdir/.courier-default files but I
managed to figure it out.
Here's what I did.
(1) I created a user imap with a maildir
(1) I created a file /usr/lib/courier/etc/aliasdir/.courier-default with
the following line
|| echo imap-$[EMAIL PROTECTED]
(2) I create a file /home/imap/.courier-default with the following two
lines
|| x=`echo $DEFAULT`; test ! -d $HOME/Maildir/.$x || echo
$HOME/Maildir/.$x
|| x=`echo $DEFAULT`; test ! -d $HOME/Maildir/.$x || echo
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
When courier is unable to resolve an email address, it attempts to see
if there is an imap folder with the same name. If the imap folder is
found, then the mail is delivery to it. If the folder is not found, then
the email is returned to the postmaster.
This probably isn't the most efficient method of handling the imap
folder but it allows me have emails list [EMAIL PROTECTED] without
creating a user account called anyone. This more or less duplicates the
functionality of public folders in MS Exchange.
Does anyone see any problems with what I have done.
Thanks for your help.

You are incorrect on both cases. I provide a sample .courier-default
file.
courier-{user}-default is run under the {user} account
No it's not. .courier-{foo} is run under the user's account.
courier-default is run under the courier daemon account (i.e. courier)
Not true either.
Since any mail delivery to a Maildir by the courier-default file will
only be readable by the courier daemon account, what use is a
courier-default file?
See the dot-courier(5) man page.
