I've generally moved to assigning an imap (or pop3) mailbox to roundup
and use polling with the imap scripts: This avoids that during
maintenance or other downtime mail might vanish (because at the time the
mail is tried to deliver to the mailbox the mailserver has already
accepted the mail) and it avoids all the permission problems.
In addition you don't need a mailserver on the roundup box.

So one reason that it's not well documented is that in todays
environment it is not in much use...
