Sieve for shared mailboxes

Sat Mar 19 21:05:25 EDT 2016

We don't use shared mailboxes or non-user sieve at all at FastMail, so
it gets less testing than most things. I'd love to have contributions of
good test cases to Cassandane from someone who knows exactly how this
should work so we can make sieve good for the shared case too.

It's somewhat tricky now that FastMail is sponsoring the bulk of Cyrus
work, obviously the stuff we use gets the most love!

Cheers,

Bron.
