tpop3d
tpop3d is yet another POP3 server. It is intended to be fast, extensible, and secure. It is especially extensible in regard to its authentication subsystem. Supported authentication mechanisms include auth-pam (Pluggable Authentication Modules) and auth-passwd to mediate access between users and their Unix-style mailboxes, auth-mysql which uses vmail-sql to mediate access to virtual-domain email, auth-ldap which allows authentication of users against an LDAP directory, auth-other which allows you to authenticate with an external program communicating via pipes, and auth-perl which allows you to authenticate users with custom Perl code. There is integrated support for POP-before-SMTP relaying. tpop3d supports traditional (BSD-format) mailspools and the maildir format of qmail.

Nice POP-3 server for multiple domains etc.
I very easily implemented UNIX-account-less mail
for multiple domains with this server, MySQL (for
keeping the accounts info) and Exim (as the MTA).
I recommend it.
