You'll need a custom POP3 server for that. When the POP3 server initializes and scans the Maildir for messages, it should ignore messages that do not have a Delivered-To: address for the login user. Maildir-based POP3 servers are childishly simple, and you should be able to write one up, or modify an existing one, in no time at all. -- Sam
