There are _hacks_ to do this, but if the original poster wants it, he's
better off moving to a pop3/imap server which can handle it
semi-natively.

Cyrus or Courier being good choices.


People, qpopper is good at what it does (SMALL, SIMPLE(*) server pop3
facilities), but let's keep it that way, rather than trying to turn it
into a marching band.


(*) Emphasis on small and simple. I wouldn't use it past 1500 users, or
for trying to pull half the stunts people are attempting here. If you
want pop3 users to provide [EMAIL PROTECTED] and have mapping, use a server
designed from the ground up for virtual domain facilities.
