No it isn't ....

We are talking MTAs here.
PH10's "mail spool" is the spool into which SMTP email arrives before it is
delivered.
He does **NOT** mean where the email is delivered for a user to pick it up.

You can do that by having a DBM containing info as to where each users' mail
should be deliverd by default.

Indeed -- different "spool"s ...
