Answering my own question.... I ended up creating a second set of passdb and userdb lookups that use a passwd-file. The passwd-file only contains the "users" for the public mailboxes. The file returns the public mailboxes' home folders and the extra field, userdb_mail. Now I can see new emails arriving at the public mailboxes properly. Oh, I also removed from my IPA server the accounts for the public mailboxes. Maybe there's another way to do this. But, I tried a whole whack of stuff and this is the only method that has worked. :/ -- Ranbir
