I have created a #Pulblc/shared folder using the ACL option
from the 
DBMA program.  Then I included this shared folder in a
number of DBmail 
user accounts.  I then subscribed the #Public/shared folder
in 
Thunderbird so the new shared folder appeared in the user's
Thunderbird 
account.

I was able to drag and drop email into the shared folder and
the email 
would correctly appear in everybody shared folder.  I was
also able to 
delete email in the shared folder of a user that had admin
privileges, 
and the email was deleted correctly from all shared folders.
 Also user 
without privileges are correctly unable to delete emails, so
it appears 
everything is working correctly.

My question is what method can I use to send email to a
shared folder, 
so the email appears in all the folder in a way that would
allow any 
user to reply to the email.  Would I need to use a sieve
filter to have 
the mail moved to the share folder, once it hit the a user's
INBOX?

I just wondering whether DBmail shared folder could be used
something 
like a Mailman mailing list, where everybody get a shared
email and 
everybody can reply to the email at some key email address,
so everybody 
would also get the reply.

Regards,

LelandJ

I've done that using a .forward file with the following
content (and 
dbmail 2.0):

|"/usr/local/sbin/dbmail-smtp -u __public__ -m
INBOX"

Thanks for the reply.  I'm not familiar with using a
.forward file.

I'm going to try to set up a sieve filter to move mail
coming into an 
inbox of a special user to the shared folders.  I'll set up
a special 
user with the shared folder that would receive all emails
and replies on 
a thread.  I'll have a flag in the subject header like
[Dbmail Shared 
Folder 1], for example, that sieve can catch to move the
email into the 
Shared Folder 1 of the speical user.  Once the email is
moved to the 
shared folder of the speical user, its should be available
to everyone.

I've go squirrelmail running as localhost on the mail server
and it has 
the sieve plugin installed.  This makes it easy for users to
create 
sieve rule.  I'll let you know how it goes.

LelandJ

You could have the MTA send a copy of all the mail delivered
to the
server (or all to that domain or whatever) to the shared
user; then have
the shared user pick off whatever it wants to save, and
delete the rest.
Should work fine on a low volume site.

I may explore this option.  It seem like there might be lots
of ways to 
handle this within the overall mail system, but it seems to
me the best 
option would be to have this built into dbmail itself,
perhaps with a 
special predefined user that has a specific email address to
receive all 
shared emails and shared email replies.  Mailman handles
this through 
the /etc/aliases file, I think.  This would be something to
think about, 
and may even be relatively easy to implement at some point
in the future.

Just let you

It's for the edit script mode in dbmail-sievecmd. I needed
to know the
name of the temporary file so that I could pass it as an
argument to the
EDITOR command, and none of the more secure temporary file
variants hand
back the file name. (Or if I missed one, please clue me in
