I'll probably be doing this in the next month or so. My plan is to use exim
which someone in the office has already configured for use with our MySQL
database. It took with very little work.
I have my own MySQL patches for qpopper and I plan to make them command line
dependent, ie. you specify the name of the database table on the command
line and it looks up all details in that.
The final piece of the puzzle requires xinetd, this allows you to specify
which IP address to bind a command to. The plan is to have pop.domain1 =
10.0.0.1 and pop.domain2 = 10.0.0.2 then set up xinetd to call popper with
different arguments on each IP address. Something similar to IP based
virtual hosts in apache.
