Hello again,
Sorry to report that I'm still having troubles getting this working.
Just to bring everyone up-to-date:
I've modified the imapd.conf file to include a "postuser: Conference" line and
added "cyrusadmin" to the list of admins.
My /etc/postfix/main.cf file has this line in it:
local_recipient_maps = proxy:unix:passwd.byname $alias_maps
hash:/private/etc/postfix/shared_folders
and I've created /etc/postfix/shared_db with the line "Conference yes" and done
the postmap to create shared_folders.db (/etc is actually a symlink to
/private/etc on an OS X machine, for the observant/curious readers out there).
In addition, my recipient_delimiter line looks like this: "recipient_delimiter
= +"
I've created a mailbox named News and given "anyone" posting privileges:
localhost> cm News
localhost> sam News anyone post
localhost> sam News cyrusadmin all
localhost> lam News
cyrusadmin lrswipcda
anyone lrsp
localhost>
So as I understand it, I should now be able to send an email to
"Conference+News@<domain>" and have the message show up in that shared mailbox.
This isn't happening. Instead, I'm getting a return message:
<[ mailto:Conference+News at testldap.urbandale.schools
]Conference+News at testldap.urbandale.schools>: data format error. Command
output: Conference+News: Mailbox does not exist
Reporting-MTA: dns; testldap.urbandale.schools

What am I missing? I've verified with the Postfix mailing list that it is a
Cyrus problem, not a Postfix one. Thanks for your help!

The best way to make a fire with two sticks is to make sure one of them is a
match.
