As others already said, there is no 'Host: ' like in HTTP/1.x so users
have to put their entire mail address as a login.
The Vhffs subsystem (Virtual Hosting For Free Software, used on
TuxFamily.org, a free software hosting service) uses exim + courier +
mysql for providing multidomain pop/imap/webmail (ssl or not) without
filling the passwd file with crap :)
You can just get the packages as examples (Vhffs is actually at a
experimental devel stage...) at:
deb ftp://ftp.vhffs.org/debian vhffs main
deb-src ftp://ftp.vhffs.org/debian vhffs main
