Hello,

  We have a patch for dbmail 1.2 that would do exactly this for you, it adds
a usermap table that lets you specify alternate usernames for pop/imap login.
We use it to transition username to [EMAIL PROTECTED] style logins, but it would
work for other applications as well.  It's not been updated for dbmail 2.0 or
2.1, though some time back Paul Stevens had mentioned looking into doing that
and including it in the debian packages - any progress there, Paul?  It's not
terribly complicated, if you have even minimal C and sql skills you could
adapt the approach to a more recent dbmail version.

Jesse
