[Dovecot] Shared Mailboxes with VirtualUsers and mail_location retrieved from ldap

[mailing lists]

Hello,

I spend a couple of days configurating a new installation of dovecot 2.0.14 with virtual accounts and NFS storage for maildir home/mail directories.


At this point I need shared mailboxes but since user mail/home locations are ldap attributes, how is it supposed I must configure this for shared mailboxes?

for the users' mail/home directories I set this line:

user_attrs = mailbox=mail=maildir:/var/maildir/%$,homeFilter=home

creating a namespace like the below one for shared mbx throw a lot of errors:


namespace {
  type = shared
  separator = /
  prefix = shared/%%u/
  subscriptions = no
  list = children
  #location = maildir:%%h/Maildir:INDEX=~/Maildir/shared/%%u
  location = mailbox=mail=maildir:/var/maildir/%$
}
I would like to hear if anyone has this configuration running. Thank you.
