Most modern MTAs have support for some sort of non-system based user
database (LDAP etc.). I know postfix has support for virtual maps
and such, see www.postfix.org &&
http://kummefryser.dk/HOWTO/mail/postfix_mysql.html.
You would then need to find an imap/pop server that could use the
same thing.
This would be much easier to maintain securely.
