It really depends on how nice the ISP is. AFAIK some ISP might find it
more convenient to redirect a domain's Email to one user and let you
figure it out. I prefer to let people connect, get a permanent IP that's
assigned to their main MX record, and flush the mailqueue waiting for
their domain. Everytime someone asked for a Globabl POP Account here, they
had trouble with it (either they meant SMTP but didn't know, or they had
_no_ idea how to make their software work, etc).
