Huh. I'm not sure if it meets you particular needs, but you should
check out smap and smapd from the firewall toolkit (cf debian fwtk
package).
I remember something about some other packages, bstmpd I think, but I
don't remember where that's from and I can't seem to find any relevant
URLs.
What you're asking for seems a little strange and will probably not be
available out of the box. How are users checking their mail if it's
sitting in a spool dir on the firewall?
