Here's the scenario:

1. FreeBSD 2.0R box with sendmail (v8 as near as I can tell) and POP3 server,
    all working fine.
2. A single host configured with multiple domains such as d1.com, d2.com, etc.
    (each has it's own IP aliased on a single NIC), also working correctly.
2. DNS properly configured and working correctly.
3. Now, given a user such as 'info', mail to info@d1.com and mail to
    info@d2.com both get delivered (as expected) to the same one user called
   'info'.  After all, mail comes to the same one host, and user account names 
   on that host must be unique.

What I NEED is a way to have mail for info@d1.com and info@d2.com
delivered to different users (or even just different POP mailboxes, but
that doesn't look likely either).

Any pointers, suggestions, (prayers?), or definitive diagnoses will be greatly
appreciated.

TIA,

Jeff
