So then I tried to create a shared folder, specifc to a domain, like shared/News at offermaker.net, but the same results. I've tried sending to: +shared/News at offermaker.net, shared/News at offermaker.net, and shared+News at offermaker.net.   Don't know what I'm doing wrong this time.

Based on the value of postuser and the name of your mailbox, the address 
which you would need to send to is:

shared+shared/News at offermaker.net

The first "shared" is because of your value of postuser.  Everything 
after the "+" is the mailbox name.  Note that you could remove the value 
of postuser (thus making it "") and post to:

+shared/News at offermaker.net


Or you could leave postuser alone and have your toplevel mailbox be 
News at offermaker.net and post to:

shared+News at offermaker.net
