Courier (IMAP) doesn't have any way to affect mail delivery: the message
simply appears in the Maildir, delivered by the MTA.

There is another component of the Courier system, 'maildrop', which does
filtering of mail before dropping it into the Maildir. You could try
installing this, and configuring qmail to use maildrop for delivery instead
of dropping messages straight into the Maildir.

My own preferred MTA is Exim and it's possible to configure just about any
access policy or restriction you like, if you're prepared to play with its
string expansion language.

I have some experience in doing that sort of thing (via UUCP links).

What I don't understand is, the above link seems to describe a service which
lets you retrieve web pages via E-mail. Anyone who is a hotmail/yahoo/
sqwebmail user clearly has direct web access anyway, so what is the benefit
to them of using this gateway?

Brian.
