Hello folks, I've tinkered with cyrus imapd for some hours now and gladly got everything working the way i wanted. But still one single question remains. Is there a way (by means of cyrus not my mta) to set aliases for a mailbox (Like letting mails for foo@xxxxxxxx end up in bar@xxxxxxxxxxx's mailbox)?
You *must* set up aliases in your MTA in order for it to validate the recipient and pass it to the delivery agent. I don't see how you can eliminate this step. You can certainly use one or a combination of Sieve/Access Control Lists/Shared mailboxes to control delivery afterwards.
Of course, you can create strictly IMAP users that aren't valid SMTP recipients (in the sense that they have email addresses or aliases), and direct delivery to them *after* Cyrus accepts the message, but I'm assuming that's not what you want. In fact, I sprained my mind just trying to write that sentence. :P
