Not "mutt", but you can use "courier-imap" as mailarchive where you have
your messages in one account and make the folder shared-ro.
This is what I do on my intranet server.
I h ave ONE account for 112 sunscribed Mailinglists and set the folders
to shared. Now any other users can read the Mailarchive whithout even
being subscribed.
Now they can post messages as a seperated "annonymous" or have to
subscribe to reply using there own E-Mail.

In my case it save traffic, because if 30 users have to subscribe to 30
to 40 mailinglists... it would be arround 300 MByte per day additional
traffic or even 45.000 additional messages to handel per day.
So, such sstem is VERY intersting for workgroups and such, but does not
require SSH. You have only use mutt with IMAP which mut does by default
Thanks, Greetings and nice Day/Evening
