Thanks ! Someone sent me sutch help from sendmail. A
document telling how to do it for few MTAs could be
written and for sure would be helpfull for a lot...

Cool ! Don't forget to post here when it's done ! :)

yes

yes. And moreover, it's important that it can be possible to
choose where a mailbox will be on the filesystem. A centralised
/var/mail with all mbox files in it may not be the best design...
> Questions:

Yes, with tools like smtp with auth and/or webmail on that server
for example.

Yes, and the MX of that domain must point to that mailserver, otherwise
mailserver should reject all message for that domain (that's what qmail
do, exept if you do relaying).
