I've actually used the exact same copy and just put the different IMAP servers 
in servers.php3 so the clients could choose their server from the list on the 
login screen.  It was three different domains, to be exact, so I had Apache 
answer to all three domains but have the same server root.  Point DNS at the 
IP for that server, of course, and it worked just fine.  I never got around to 
getting elegant enough to having the configuration file determine what server to 
use based on the hostname/site accessed.  Then the user wouldn't have any 
choices to make, it would just work.  Of course, all three sites looked exactly 
the same, but no one cared about that.

So, not addressing Chuck's message, but answering the original question with 
another solution, yes, it can be done. :)
