Ahh, well I'm using the old standby of giving "anyone" post rights to
any subfolders that need direct delivery. Otherwise it does do as you say.

However, I'll keep this message in my inbox for after the holidays; if
all that's required is to add AUTH=<user> to the MAIL FROM: command, I'm
sure I could create an Exim patch to do that.
