We'd have to know more about the protocols Sprint uses before we'd be
able to make an intelligent reply to this. At least one other site is
already pursuing the available protocol question. I suggest that you find
out from Sprint what standard (or nonstandard) protocols they support for
accessing their service.

As for using one mailbox to serve multiple local users, the concept of an
MTA-level mailbox is hardly new. PMDF has them (they're called channels),
Message Router has them (they're called mailboxes), and I'm quite sure
that the concept was understood even when these products were developed.
(PMDF in particular traces its use of channels back to MMDF.)

Multi-use mailboxes at the UA level are rarer but by no means unheard of.
Again, PMDF has them (username+use-specific-string@localhost), they'd
be easy to do if anyone wanted to in Message Router, and so on. And again,
the concept is not original; PMDF's facilities for this are copied from
similiar facilities in the Andrew Messaging System. I have no idea where they
got the idea from...
