in reply to Email Proxy System

You will need to replace POP with something else (like IMAP) in order to meet your requirements. Some of the things you want to do (append to the end of the message, move messages between mailboxes) are not possible through POP (See RFC 1939), as the POP protocol does not provide for you to modify the mail on the server (other than to delete the message), it requires you to download the message and store it locally if you want to do that.

We're not surrounded, we're in a target-rich environment!

    My script will be run locally on the server. I suppose what I was going to do was download the mail from the mailbox to my script with a POP client module (deleting them from the mailbox afterwards). Then store and mess with the messages within my own database system - then use a POP server module messages to the users' email clients.
