Jesus, are you real? :-)  (Yes, you are.  People have tried to
imitate you since, but they failed miserably. :-))

I guess what you want would require some minor mod's to the POP3
server source, but it should be fairly trivial.  The biggest problem
is that you can't use the getpw*() functions then (or have to provide
a modified set).
