For managing a "catchall" account, also called a drop box, check out the excellent program getmail at: http://www.qcc.sk.ca/~charlesc/software/getmail-2.0/getmail.html marc@bowery.com, morten@esol.no, zope@zope.org wrote:

1) Want to be able to retrieve messages to the local box, from for example your ISP.

It probably wouldn't be your ISP, unless you had a virtual domain. Because, you'd use the catchall account: http://lists.omnipotent.net/qmail/200006/msg00338.html http://www.qmail.org/qmail-manual-html/man8/qmail-send.html

3) Same as 1, but retrieve the messages and store them in an arbitrary file

Yeah, something like that but parsing thru the catchall account to distribute mail to the 'within zope users'. There seems to be a way to forward a whole catchall account (http://binarios.com/miscnotes/qmail.html), but can zope recieve it? If so, then it's just a of parsing the messages and managing the users....
