The users/assign file applies only to mail delivery. If you want qmail-pop3d to
find mail that's not in a regular /etc/passwd-type user's account, you'll need
to use a different version of checkpasswd and some sort of file/database to
store user names, passwords, and mail directories in.
If you haven't read it already, read Paul Gregg's single-UID POP box HOWTO at
http://www.tibus.net/pgregg/projects/qmail/single-uid-howto.txt.
I have a patch to DJB's checkpassword that'll allow you to use regular system
accounts in addition to your own accounts as defined in users/poppasswd. It's
at http://www.palomine.net/qmail/checkpassword-0.81.patch.
