Why's the [Dbmail Shared Folder 1] part necessary if you're
going to 
have a custom user for this anyway?

Sieve does server sided filtering, so before the email ever
hit the 
special user's inbox, it is moved to the special use shared
folder.  
I've named the special user "shared" with password
"shared" and user 
group 3.  The email sent to the "shared" user
needs to automatically be 
moved to the shared folder, so its available to everyone
subscribed to 
the shared folder.  I have [#Public] included in the subject
line of the 
email, which sieve uses to filter and move the emails into
the shared 
folder.

When I sent an email to the special user the sieve filter
caught it and 
moved it into the shared folder of user shared, no problem,
and the 
email was then available to everyone.  Then I had another
user reply to 
the email, and again it when to the "shared" user
and showed up to 
everyone.  Then I had a second user reply to the email, but
it didn't 
show up to everyone; because, the from address, (e.g. reply
address), 
had changed, so the reply went to another user other than
"shared".  The 
other user did not have a sieve script to move the email
into the shared 
folder.

Now I am comtemplating whether to set up a sieve filter on
ever user, so 
regardless of who received the reply, it would be available
to all, or 
Perhaps it would be better to change the [Reply to] address
of the 
Thunderbird cleint to sharedmail.smvfp.com, but then
all replies would 
go the the shared folder and be available to all user, even
when it was 
private email not intended to be shared.

I think I would need to set up a sieve filter with every
user of the 
group to insure it worked like mailman, but it definite look
like its 
possible to do this.

Mailman has an option to replace the Reply-To address list
messages with
the list name. Some lists (like this one) have that option
turned on.
Other lists have that option turned off and it is incumbent
upon
participants to use Reply to All and CC the mailing list.

The simple sieve option does only the latter. Can you alter
user behavior?

Installing a sieve script for every user is a lousy
solution, but I don't
have better options to offer (yet).
