Use IP aliasing, and xinetd or Julian's (Assange or Elischer, I can't 
remember) fancy inetd to run a separate 'popd' in a separate chroot(2)ed 
subsystem with separate password file for each domain.  Or hack popper to 
do the getsockname() call and use a database of names/passwords per IP 
address.  You can use procmail to do the mail delivery to separate 
/var/mail/IP/ directories for each virtual domain.
