I saw, but I'm not familiar with vm-pop3.. will have to go looking to
figure out what that is (I'm moderately familiar with sendmail, but
beyond that I've been using qmail for too long).

Ok, found the webpage for this. Doesn't look like it supports
SSL... =( Or maildirs. =( I'll have to look to see if courier-imap
can handle virtual mailboxes like this instead (but I won't rule
vm-pop3d out).

Thanks. I use mailman for some lists and ezmlm for others. I have a
distinct preference for ezmlm, but I'm not a stranger to mailman (the
exim integration perhaps, but other than that I can handle it).

Thanks, Jeremy. Should be interesting to see what I can come up
with. Expect more questions on the list... I'm determined not to be
stuck in the dark ages with qmail... =)
