It is the smtp/d services that deliver incoming mail to domain\users
directories
if you restrict pop3, imap, and webmess access to these directories, the
mail will still be received, but no one will be able to read it with
pop,imap, web
when the customer pays, you allow access of the 3 services to the domain
directory
Will this work?
