If I include the transport you have above on a test system running Fedora
Core 1 and exim 4.41 it works. The only change I made was to move the
directory to /var/mail/test, and use different existing user and group (user
server, group adm). I sent mail to test, with the alias "test: adm" in
/etc/mail/shared-mail.
The resulting directory structure at /var/mail/test is:
drwxrwxrwx 3 root root 4096 Aug 12 16:00 .
drwxr-xr-x 3 server adm 4096 Aug 12 16:00 ./imapshared
drwxr-xr-x 2 server adm 4096 Aug 12 16:00 ./imapshared/test
-rw-rw---- 1 server adm 2806 Aug 12 16:00 ./imapshared/test/INBOX
I suppose it must be a BSD'ism.
