Thinking of it, I could theoretically create "normal" user and give it 
+l permission to list all mailboxes under "user.".  The only problem, I 
need to find a way how to do it.  "sam user normal_user +l" doesn't work 
(of course).  "sam user.* normal_user +l" would allow it to list all 
currently existing mailboxes, but not newly created...  Any Cyrus wizard 
around? ;-)
