I've been doing this for years, where the 'admin' account is a catchall
mailbox, created by defualt with new domains, and for those clients that
just want to forward all email to another address, they just create a
filter on that account, instead of creating other mailboxes ...
Why is it all of sudden starting to create this global directory, and how
do I make it stop? :)
Admins aren't supposed to be regular users, meaning they aren't supposed to
have INBOXes or sieve scripts. It has said this in the docs for a quite
while (perhaps as far back as v1.6?).
Cyrus 2.3 and recent 2.2 releases allow sieve scripts to be placed on shared
mailboxes. This is done by authenticating to timsieved as an admin, which
then places scripts in the global/ namespace.
Great, now I have to change my whole mail system *sniffle*
This is going to be fun :(
Thx ...
