Why do you require a MySQL DB for virtual hosts who have accounts in the
local server ? The /etc/passwd is good enough for this. Small tools
should achieve large tasks ! This perl script 'shared-mailbox.pl' by
Richard Kay, <rich AT copsewood DOT net> does things elegantly. This can
be got from
http://www.linuxlinks.com/, you may have to dig there.

Not secure enough....run ssl-wrappers around your POP3 and SMTP ports
and use re-direction via NAT.

Is it an elegant solution ? Please do pardon me if I am totally wrong...
