sorry this is abit off topic but i thought i would make use of the great expertise availbale.

question: is it possible to create a pop3 email account with more than 8 characters on a linux/unix system. ie. steve.jones@domian.com without using an alias.

why you ask, because i want to offer an email service that allows pop3 and webmail access, this needs to be autoamtic account creation and alias will be differcult.. wouldn't it?


any ideas
