    I am beginning to suspect that the problem is due to the frontend
    using IMAP AUTHENTICATE where the client code uses LOGIN. The
    code-paths are different, and it looks as if the imapd_userisadmin
    and imapd_userisproxyadmin variables in imapd.c are not getting set
    in the AUTHENTICATE case.

    This probably means that there is some SASL config that I need to do
    to define the admins as well as setting the admins item in imapd.conf
    - auth_mech perhaps?

    The frontends use DIGEST-MD5 when authenticating to the backends, but
    then they use exactly the same when authenticating to the mupdate
    master, and that does treat them as admins!

    Can anyone suggest where to look next?

    Thanks

    Andrew
