What I am trying to implement is something that allows the user
to configure what happens to the message, i.e. procmail type service.
For instance I personally would like to be able to take each message

Can anyone led any comments/suggestions/webiste that have examples
or code snippits to my cause ?

There seems to be a thing with users of virtual pop daemons reposting their requests here on a daily (or more frequent) basis until someone responds, as if stepping into a forum and incessantly repeating oneself will garner you positive feedback.

I suggest that you read recent messages matching 'virtual' in the archives (linked from the procmail homepage, if you haven't looked - right above the FAQ links), and perhaps follow up with the chap who last inquired about it.

If delivery isn't via LDA, procmail will not be invoked unless you're actually invoking it from whatever alias mechanism qmail happens to support (equivalent to sendmail "prog mailer"), where you'd alias all users to invoke a procmail wrapper script which would then check to see whether that individual user has any delivery options, and default to delivering to your vpopmail (also with which I am unfamiliar).

Keep in mind that your users probably don't have the slightest clue about procmail scripts, so you'll have to write and debug them yourself and make a script writer. There's one or two packages out there which offer this sort of functionality, none of which I've used, but I'm given to understand that they're targeted chiefly at regular LDA usage - so to adopt them, you may have to do some hacking. Try reviewing the Procmail list archives for information on those programs.
