Sorry for going this far back in a discussion, but this is a problem I
need to solve here now :)

Could this magic of getting a user's mailbox into
/var/spool/mail/$domain/$user be archieved fairly easily by using
procmail for local delivery? I'm not planning on getting into the
discussion of the scalability of the solution, as I'm looking at a few
hundred mails a day.

cheers,
Alexander
