hmm, i think my patch will do what you want it to do, in concept, just in a different method than you describe.
the patch pulls an email address from the mysql table for the login name, auths off that, and directly maps that to the mail spool. that's the user, there's no /etc/passwd usage. so a user may login to qpopper as [EMAIL PROTECTED], and then qpopper will look in /var/spool/mail/domain.com/user for the mail. That's the default anyway. It may be closer to what you want in the fact that you can specify a username-indepedent place where the mail is. for example, in the spool field of the mysql table for [EMAIL PROTECTED], you could say the mail was in /var/spool/mail/joeblow or /var/spool/mail/domain/janesuck or wherever, the mailbox doesn't have to be called 'user' --Tony .-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-.
