Subject: custom popa3d setup (Re: Question)

Hi,

I'm sure I'm not the only one on this list who would appreciate a more
informative message subject.  Please try to avoid generic ones like
"question" in the future.

Yes, but it will require patching the code.  I may do it for you if
this work is paid for, in fact integration of popa3d "into an existing
mail server and mail user database setup" is offered right on the
popa3d web page.  Please see http://www.openwall.com/services/
