Vpopmail: http://inter7.com/vpopmail.html should be able to do what you want, it supports usernames like 'user@domain'. It's designed to work with the qmail MTA, but the website explains how to make it work with postfix. It's in the ports under mail/vpopmail-stable. > He needs SMTP, ASMTP, POP3 and IMAP.

SMTP will obviously be handled by sendmail/postfix. Since courier-imap is listed as compatible with vpopmail, I assume you can use it for POP3 and IMAP. The only disadvantage is that vpopmail is designed to work with qmail, so it uses the same tools and syntax (tcpserver, /var/qmail/control). For ASMTP, look under SASL on http://www.postfix.org/docs.html. I assume this can be done with sendmail too, but I'm not sure whether sendmail works with vpopmail. HTH, Alson
