	That is correct.

	Look, I've never done this but I've been hanging out on
dozens of ISP mailing lists for years. I believe there's a GNU/GPL
(free) POPer out there that does this natively and when combined
with one of the sendmail replacements and linked to MySQL you end up
with a rocking system that will do everything you want. William L.
Walsh and others posted some hints on how to go about this during
what I recall as a sendmail discussion a few months back on the
isp-webhosting list. You can find the archives at:

	If your budget can handle it you might consider hiring a
consultant. No, I haven't got time our hosting business keeps me
jumping. I'm now having to pay people to system admin for me. But,
as an old 'coder', I don't see where setting something like this up
is much of a problem considering the gizmos available today. Most of
what I'm guessing would be used though would probably break the
Cobalt GUI. You might want to chat with the William I mentioned
above. Jeremy Reed can be found on the isp-tech list. I know him to
be a consultant and I'm pretty sure I've seen some posts of his in
which he described how to set this up with off the shelf free
software.

	Hope this helps.

	Peace be with you,
