    Check out the Virtual Exim package at http://silverwraith.com/vexim
    It does the same at vpopmail but for Exim - sorry, not sendmail yet, but
    if you can make Sendmail lookup data in a MySQL database, this will work
    for you.

    I know it's very close to, if not exceeding the functionality /
    usability of vpopmail, because I used to use Qmail+vpopmail.
    Then I migrated the Exim and started the vexim project.
    It's still small with only one other developer, but very stable. Testers
    and more developers always welcome!

    I use it for all my production mail right now.
