Could you build this?

No Operating a custom mail server infrastructure supporting standard protocols like IMAP and POP3 across multiple domain pools requires specialized network and mail ops expertise.

What it would actually take: Requires running and securing Postfix/Dovecot or custom protocol daemons, handling multi-tenant domain routing, anti-abuse/reputation management, and storage pipelines for raw email. Deep systems programming and mail protocol (RFC 3501, RFC 1939) knowledge is necessary, alongside scalable distributed storage for mailboxes.
