Is it possible to configure the mail server to automatically copy the mail content and the mail attachments to a user's home directory in order to download big attachments.

And also I am getting a pop lock busy error, if I am trying to login to the same address from two differet machines. Is there any way to change that.

I assume that by "same address" you mean login name.

pop services is design for single user access only. If one authorized connection is establish, any subsequent attempt to log into the same account will cause the pop to lock.

As for the mail server question, I assume is sendmail. The anwser would be yes, it's possible, but difficult. You would need in depth understanding of how mta works and the sendmail configuration file. Try this book.
