confirm that qmail 1.3 with the BigDNS and queuevar patches will be

take a look at vchkpw from www.inter7.com
they keep a rules list based on the tcpserver rules list that gets an ip added

I would recommend the vchkpw package at www.inter7.com. It lets you manage
several virtual domains on one machine by using an authentication mechanism
that uses the username and the domain as opposed to just the username.
