Matt, you alluded to this earlier, but one approach is have sendmail
map either a "user@subdomain.domain" or a "full.name@domain" to an 8
character ugly name, e.g. xyz0001, and then have the POP users use this
for POP retrieval only, not for return addresses.  If you have no shell
logins, this will work because most POP3 clients, in particular Eudora
and Netscape, have a separate entry for POP user name and for Return Address.
Can be confusing, but have decided to adopt this approach until something
better comes along.
