*quick search on the courier website for a useful link* hmm needs a search button somewhere google ahhh... hmmm well depending on your exact setup (maildrop, vmailmgr, vpopmail) as such this should be possible I found interesting info under maildir-bulletin, but perhaps someone else on the list has more complete info? I thought(apparently wrongly) that this was a part of courier itself...

ISTM that the ideal way of doing this would be as each user logs in. This means that the delivery work is spread over time, whilst still appearing to be instantaneous, and no delivery work is performed for mailboxes which are inactive. It could perhaps be done as an extra auth module in the chain of modules - if it sees SUCCESS from a previous module then it copies or links in the relevant bulletin messages. (You might want an LDAP attribute to be able to put users in groups)

On the other hand, this involves maintaining state for each mailbox, i.e. which messages have already been seen and copied in.
