Hi all. Consider the following setup: Each user of an ISP has a full "virtualhost" username. Qmail is configured so that [EMAIL PROTECTED] is delivered into their individual Maildir/Pop3 box. Each user logs in with their username 'theirname.domain.com'. Assume this setup is running perfectly (ok, I have 4,000 users using it). Essentially I'm thinking of enabling the user to login via POP3 as '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' with their normal password. (I've written the checkpasswd so it's easy to authenticate ok). What methodology could be used so that if they login with a specific email address as a POP3 user then they only "see" email which is destined for that user. but if they logged in without a user@ part then they would get everything. My inital thoughts are to auth, then create a sub-Maildir and mv the relivant emails into it, set HOME appropriately and launch qmail-pop3d. However, this has implications against "Leave mail on server", so if this happens we need to consider mv-ing emails back to the parent Maildir/cur and tearing down the sub-Maildir. I could do the above described setup ok, but perhaps there may be an issue(s) I haven't considered. Anyone have any thoughts on this? This has obvious application in providing "company wide" or private boxes within a single ISP account setup without having to do anything fancy for each client.
