But PO does nothing to make this available to me, much less provide some framework perl examples. The end result is that thought PO is a completely easy to run mail server, it is not adaptable to user implemented automation. We are tied to the human based web interface.

AFAIK, you are completely right and that is the sole reason why we
can not recommend Post.Office to Emerald customers. It just doesn't
have any APIs or was to automate things like all the other packages,
that are 1/2 the price of it. Thats sad to say, since Post.Office was
the first that we supported for added (via that clunky mail interface
that they broke on every new major release). :(
I recommend looking at Mailsite, IMail, NTMail, VOPMail, etc. They
are all well-written mail servers that have great API support, and
you can usually get a response from their support group.
