[Zope] MailBoxer bg script as anonymous user trying to move an object

[Kari-Hans Kommonen]

We use MailBoxer for collecting mails, and want a script to move an 
object received by mailBoxer to a user's own folder.

However, it seems that since the MailBoxer runs as anonymous, the 
copy and paste are unauthorized.

We have Manager proxies set for the relevant scripts, and tried 
placing various parts of the process in an External method. The 
scripts work ok when executed by an authorized user.

I found an earlier related question and Dieter's answer (below). Is 
this the only way?
