    Thanks for the comments.
    Indeed I was thinking about this wrong.

    The correct pop server/domain is found by the users logon which is
    fully qualified by the domain, user@domain.com not by the ip as is
    the case for web servers.

    So you don't even have to be concerned with internal ips (like you do
    fo rmultiple web server based on ips) for pop servers.

    All is needed is to have the mx records setup correctly to get you to
    the firewal and then forward all 110 requests to any ip hosted on the
    machine.

    MDeamon looks good.
    I have been using rockliffmailsite but it has been overkill for12<
    users.

    I am going with the built in pop and smtpt servers on win 2003
    unless that gives anyone a major heart arttack?
