If i remember correctly (haven't done much coding on dbmail lately) a
file descriptor is used throughout
both daemons. Using a commandline switch it should be fairely easy to
replace an allocated socket with
STDIN / STDOUT.

When the initial design was done, was it looked at writing the pop3d

Same with dbmail-imapd
I'm actually about 15% there with support for xinetd pop3. I can talk
to it,
get prompted for username/pass and that's where I'm upto, after that,
I seem
to have broken things, and my connection gets terminated with no
message
about good or bad username. I can provide the code so far if anyone is
interested, it's a little messy, I haven't done any proper networking
in C
for a while now :-(
