Sendmail can be configured to do pretty well any kind of address
mapping that you could imagine. Switching to a different MTA isn't
going to help you any.
The problems are with the fact that Unix mail systems tend to have
default configurations which assume that mail accounts correspond to
user accounts, and with the fact that a POP3 daemon only gets to see a
login name, without any "@domain" part.
If you want to have two users who are both called just "info" from the
viewpoint of the POP3 daemon, you will need a POP3 daemon which
supports virtual hosting, as well as one IP address per domain.
Otherwise you will have to give each user a distinct POP3 login (e.g.
domain1-info and domain2-info). There is no way around this,
regardless of which MTA and OS you are using.
