Vpopmail
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
vpopmail is a free GPL software package, to provide an easy way to manage virtual e-mail domains and non /etc/passwd e-mail accounts on your qmail or Postfix mail servers. Originally developed by Inter7 it has become a large open source project with a large community supporting it.
