I can certainly understand not using /etc/passwd but Why not maildirs??
I would really recommend vpopmail or v<whatever the name of that package I
can't seem to remember right now> ?
qmail-pop3d only is used for Maildirs (not the virtual user problem)
other poppers are availible, check the qmail page.
