Sieve for shared mailboxes

Fri Mar 18 08:30:48 EDT 2016

I have had mixed luck with direct mailbox delivery(+ addressing) and 
when I say mixed I mean mostly bad.
I wanted to try using it for direct delivery of copies of all sent messages.
I found I needed special permissions on all the mailboxes and duplicate 
delivery detection would not work in that configuration.
So I dropped it.

My guess would be that you may need to setup a shared mailbox or group 
mail account that would process the mail into the shared mailbox and 
then you could use sieve.
