Odd. The normal virtual email system of linuxconf work without IPs for
some time now. the trick is to tell the user to enter as their pop account
id
user/domain
instead of just
user
This way, vpop3d can tell which domain is targetted. Beside that, I don't
know what is the IP-less virtual emailing. I know that sendmail refer to
the virtusertable ability, which imho is a very poor virtual domain email
system (but nevertheless supported by linuxconf, right when you create an
account in the email aliases).
I must be missing something here. Could you explain what is the goal.

I will test that.

Especially if the m4 files support the feature you want, which often ...
is not the case.
I will investigate the ability of using the m4 file to build the cf. Not
sure if the things linuxconf handle fits well/merge well with the m4.
