If you don't want to create user accounts on the box for mail users then use something like Cyrus, which manages it's own authentication and so doesn't require any system accounts to be created for mail users. -- Tis a wise thing to know what is wanted, wiser still to know when it has been achieved and wisest of all to know when it is unachievable for then striving is folly.
