The above will forward mail to another box.. What I need is a way to make a 
pop3 box without having to do a useradd. The box should be accessable via 
pop3 and sendmail should see it as well. I am pretty sure I would have to 
make a seperate password file for these mail only users..

I just don't have the concept yet :(
