      postuser: <empty string>
           Userid used to deliver messages to shared folders.  For
           example, if set to "bb", email sent to "bb+shared.blah"
           would be delivered to  the  "shared.blah"  folder.   By
           default,  an  email  address of "+shared.blah" would be
           used.

Try:

  cm publicfolder
  sam publicfolder anyone p

If in your /etc/imapd.conf you have:

  postuser: bb

Then you would address the mail to

  bb+publicfolder at ....

If you do not set postuser, then you would address the mail as

  +publicfolder at ....

Of course you may have to do other tweaking at the MTA to make sure this 
mail gets delivered. However, this should not be an issue with LMTP 
delivery (best).

You may also want to look at the 'sharedprefix' setting in imapd.conf.
