Hi!

We did since in old times.

Currently, we used a patched qpopper that looks up users in
a seperate file, delivering into a shared pop directory.

Working, but not yet under customer pressure is a similar scheme
with domains (user has user@domain as pop username, it will be
delivered to somepath/domain/user). This includes a small web interface
so that domain owners can admin their POP accounts for themselves.
Not yet userfriendly 8-}

Based on smail, qpopper (secure/patched 2.4b1) and some handmade perl.

Interested ? I'll take a few more days to be able to put it up for
ano-ftp.
