dovecot - Jan 2012 - Problems sending email direct into publich folders

Hi,

i want to send mails direct into a public folder. If i send an email via my
local postfix the mail will be handled as a normal private mail. Dovecot does
create a mailbox in the private Namespace and do use not the mailbox in public
one.

I hope you can help me with my little problem.

Here sone informations about my configuration:

[root at imap1 etc]# ls -la /var/dovecot/imap/public/
insgesamt 16
drwxr-x--- 3 vmail vmail 4096 19. Jan 10:12 .
drwxr-x--- 5 vmail vmail 4096 18. Jan 08:41 ..
-rw-r----- 1 vmail vmail    0 19. Jan 10:11 dovecot-acl-list
-rw-r----- 1 vmail vmail    8 19. Jan 10:12 dovecot-uidvalidity
-r--r--r-- 1 vmail vmail    0 19. Jan 10:12 dovecot-uidvalidity.4f17de84

Depends on how you want to do this.. For example all mails intended to be put to
public namespace could be sent to a "publicuser" named user, which has
write permissions to the public namespace. Then you'll simply create a sieve
script for the publicuser which redirects the mails to the wanted folder (e.g.
fileinto "public/hrztest").

I'm also migrating from cyrus-imapd to dovecot. But this solution isn't
very good to me. With cyrus I could easily send an email to (for example)
bb+shared/archive at mydomain.com. Then the mail will be putted to the public
folder.?

Is there a comparable way to do this with Dovecot?
FYI: I'm using dovecot in a clustered and multidomain setup. The Mails will
be deliviered over LMTP.
