I think so, but it will be very hard to run without root access.  If
you have co-operation of someone with root access then they could
for example implement some scheme whereby all mail for a given
domain is delivered to a set of aliases that you control.  But it's
a lot easier if you're the one with root access.

Cheers,
Andy
