Look at qmail (http://www.qmail.org/) for the qmail-popup stuff.  
This is one alternative.  Basically the formula for this setup is to 
break the POP3 service into two parts - authentication, and the 
program that does the real work.  You can then write (or use someone 
else's) authentication module and not much with the back end.

(I am only biased towards qmail b/c that is what I have the most 
experience with.  I am sure there are other schemes that do just as 
good of a job.)
