You are looking to run a POP/IMAP server that can handle virtual domains
based on IP address if you really want to allow user A to login as "info"
and user B to login as "info". A good POP/IMAP daemon built to handle these
scenarios will see the login as "info", check on what IP address the login
was made, and map it to the matching mailbox.
Courier-imap provides this functionality, and includes both IMAP and POP
servers. Also supports SSL.
I run qmail as my MTA, coupled with courier-imap, vmailmgr, and
squirrelmail. This collection of open source software provides a secure,
robust mail server, allowing users to access their email via IMAP, POP, and
HTTP. From an admin perspective, it supports virtual domains by IP address,
plus extended user logins (i.e. [EMAIL PROTECTED] as a username, which is what
most of the previous folks have responded with).
I've setup all of this running on a Linux box, as have many other folks,
plus we've got Cold Fusion 4.5sp2 running on the box. If you're looking for
a solution to run on a Microsoft platform, I can't help you (and would
strongly urge you to evaluate Linux).
Check the following links for more info:

www.courier-mta.org
www.qmail.org
www.squirrelmail.org
www.vmailmgr.org
At this point we're running a good outside the scope of this mailing list,
so you may want to contact me directly, or better yet, go check out
courier-imap and join their mailing list.
