You can use a virtual host configuration to do this and store the account information
in MySQL. Vexim is a virtual mail system adminstration interface. The package
includes full instructions on how to implement virtual mail domains. Grab it at

The daily snapshot of Vexim is stable and will become the 1.4 release any day now.
I'm using it for pop3 mail with QPopper (with the MySQL patch), while Av is using it
with Couier-IMAP. Exim 4.x is required.
