Hello,
some users are to read other users mailboxes (secretary-boss
relationship), in order to filter out minor issues, SPAM, appointment
requests etc. pp.
The "boss" wants to see/access his/her mailbox the usual way, no fancy
stuff.
Furthermore, this is a N:N relationship, meaning one user needs to read
one set of user's mailboxes, another user needs to read another set of
mailboxes; both may or may not overlap.
My idle solution would be to create some name space or a special "shared"
directory in the secretary's Maildir/home dir and symlink the Maildir of
all the "boss"'s Maildir roots.
Because only the "secretary" shall use/see the definition, I'm not to make
one namespace per relationship, but predefine one namespace and issue the
path via userdb, right?
Does somebody has some setup of this sort running?
Are there some differences in v1.1 in this aspect?
Currently I've setup that the secretaries connect with the real account of
the boss(es), what is not good in my eyes, the secretaries should use
their own accounts accessing the mails.
Bye,
