How are you going to authenticate without holding authentication data?
Sven Paulus has patched a qpopper so that it reads its user data from
a cleartext password file (which I probably will patch to use crypt()
once I learn about UNIX security).
I have heard that the qmail popper can do the same thing. You'd have
to slice the qmail popper out of the qmail package (which does not
seem too easy to do) and to have exim deliver into a mailq (which I
believe it can do).
ON a second thought, the mailq concept starts to intrigue me more and
more - the "no locks" argument is a strong one.
