Not sure why you want virtual 'shell' services, but for virtual POP you may want to look at HESIOD. The documentation is all available as part of the FLORA server project at http://www.flora.org/flora/server/ In essence, it makes use of a DNS like system that allows you to map user@some.domain to otheruser@other.domain within a sendmail MAP file. Because the 'forwarding' is based on DNS, it can be distributed and you can enlist the support of other servers to map your mail. All domains I run are using this system: user@flora.org is different than user@plcom.on.ca , and so on. I do, however, only have a single POP server - I don't see the utility in mapping it to be separate, but this could be done with additional A records and additional Cw lines in your sendmail.cf file. >Anyone seen this done already?

Curious what words you were searching for, and I could try to add them as keywords to the stuff in /flora/server/ >-Ralph - -- Russell McOrmond, Consultant: <http://www.flora.org/russell/work/> (Internet/Intranet server admin,CGI programming,Web,Email,News, ...)
