       Thanks Brent for replying. I really was not aware of these solutions.
I browsed a lot and, for what my ignorance allowed me to understand, i can
have a webmail software configured with a single pop3 account per virtual
domain but capable of running hundreds of virtual email addresses for these
domains with identical usernames on the same machine, correct?
      I also noticed the best ones are pretty expensive. Does anybody on
this list run a similar service on a Raq, purchased at a reasonable price?
