not at all. I've a subdomain in hypermart (they provide them free).
Hypermart is usign Qmail. So, when a message goes to
[EMAIL PROTECTED], it gets delivered to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Then, my computer fetches the mail from my POP3 account with fetchmail.
Fetchmail has a tiny shell script configured as MTA, that wraps the msg
and
if /^Delivered-To: alias-mydomainhypermartnet-(user)/ then USER=$1
else USER=jose (my account as default)
and qmail-inject $USER...
Of course you are limited to hosting on sites that uses qmail, but that's
more a benefit that a limitation :)
