Take a look at sendmail and postfix. Both offer a virtual
user feature via what they refer to as a "virtusertable". This
allows you to map same_name at different_domains to different system user
names so they can be delivered properly. I.E., john at domain1.com would
get delivered to a user name named "john1" (or whatever) and
john at domain2.com would be deliver to the mailbox of user john2. Make
sense?

Thought for the day --
`Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first place.
Therefore, if you write the code as cleverly as possible, you are,
by definition, not smart enough to debug it.'
