How do Gordon.

FC2 replaced the standard mail server software and is now using devcot
or cyrus. I believe their are other mail server's available, but I have
not been following them too closely.

If you search the archive for either pop3 server, devcote or cyrus you
should come back with a bundle of quite well layed out emails explaining
how to set one of them up to do as you want. Cyrus rocks, but may be
overkill.
