I think the following is worth posting to make the idea really clear:
-----
4.3) How does bulletins work :
During POP session after the authentication by user, server
copies the bulletins placed in the BULLDIR in to the users
message spool. Server would figure out the last bulletin
read by user by placing under users home directory ~/.popbull
the last bulletin number read. Any bulletin in the BULLDIR
with number greater than the one in ~/.popbull would
be copied to users message spool.

it works for qpopper, what`s about qmail`s popper - can it do that way too?
Or it will send to new user old bulls too?
Oh! on systems with no homedirs it is possible to keep a DB of user:latest
bull recieved ...
