    Come on guys, the OP is asking for a virtual pop3/imap server. Not an MTA
    like qmail or postfix. So let him decide on that first and then see which MTA
    goes best with his choice.
    Both courier and cyrus have support for virtual users and domains. Both are in
    the portstree and both are well-documented on the web. google around.
