I wrote a patch to gnu-pop3d (previously called IDS POP) that allows a
setup like this. I have separate password and alias files and spool
directories for each domain.
The user gets his/her mail by including the domain name as their username
within their pop3 client, like user@??? or user:foo2.bar. (The regular
spool directory and passwd files are used, if they don't include the
domain name.)
The virtual mailboxes are owned like:
$ ls -l /var/spool/virtual/donsholsters.com/*
-rw-rw---- 1 mail mail 19129 Oct 11 18:20 don
Check out

more information and the patch.
(Exim works perfect for delivering the mail to right place.)
