The issue with POP accounts (I use POP3) is that you can not change
where it looks for the mailbox (unless you are willing to change
source code - noooooooooooooo)
So, the following has to occur - a POP user must exist in the
real /etc/passwd with a valid passwd. This causes a conflict if
two virtual customers want the same username (i.e. fbloggs).
Since I give every customer a unique unix group (700,701,...)
I prefix the username with the customer account (701.fbloggs)
Next I need to attach the pop3 mail file /var/mail/spool/701.fbloggs
to the read file (/var/mail/domains/xyz/fbloggs), a symbolic link
will do this.
Finally a litle automation with a web page can make this
transparent to the user
