hi there

i'm just looking if someone knows a _simple_ way / tool:

• should be a POP3 AND IMAP server
• it should accept ANY username / password
• it should present ONE predefined email to the customer (to inform him about something) - if the customer later is trying to get mails he should not get it again (per username base)
• it should be opensource ,-) - and should preferably run on FreeBSD

does someone knows about some application which fits my requirements?

tcpserver, qmail-popup, qmail-pop3d and a 20 line perl script as checkpassword replacement for the POP3 case. IMAP is a bit more complex but I think dovecot and the same 20 line perl script may work.

The perl script needs to figure out if the user already logged in, then chdir to the maildir with the one mail or a empty maildir and execute the next application.
