The sorting in the according public folder happens in a global sieve
script before user scripts are fireing. It is combined with the
‚+‘
notation in postfix for sub addresses and an special ‚listadm‘
user
postfix:

listadm+Verteiler/info@$DOMAIN

The sieve script is then reading the generated address and delivers
it
into the according public folder. We learned a lot about sieve
scripting
with this task :-)

More details would be to much here.
To be honest, we needed some time to get it done properly. It is a
combination of features and A LOT OF testing and analysing the
behaviour
of postfix/dovecot/public-folder/sieve/acl.
the sieve part seems to be very tricky.
My test is now working with a public folder and I have a
"sieve_before" script in place which works for rules of the
private namespace.
But when the rule shall "fileinto" a public folder, the mail isn't
filtered (moved) and syslog says
dovecot: lmtp(.): Error ... sieve...: Mailbox doesn't exist.
After some tests I found out it always looks in the private (or
shared)
namespace for that specfied folder.
Do I miss a config option to let dovecot sieve "fileinto" a public
namespace folder?
I use dovecot version 2.2.13.
We „fileinto“ in this manner :
fileinto „Namespace/folder“;

The procedure in our setup is like this:

Virtual alias for each public-Folder email address within postfix:

Pattern:
folder@domain.tld listadm+Namespace/folder@domain.tld
Example:
info@domain.tld listadm+Verteiler/info@domain.tld
Verteiler is the namespace, info the mailbox. listadm is a pseudo user
in this context which holds the ACL for fileinto the resulting mailbox
with proper permissions.

Disassemble the virtual alias address with sieve:

Excerpt of the script. It is actually more code because we sort out spam
for public folder. German comments, sorry.
         # Hat Subadresse?
         if envelope :matches :detail "to" "*"
         {
                 # Adressaufbau: listadm+Namespace/liste@
                 # ${liste} wird Namespace/box
                 set "liste" "${1}";
         }
[…]

                 fileinto "${liste}";

I can send you the whole script if you need.
Greetings!
