Maybe, maybe not.

You might, or you might not, but since we know less about your system than you
do, it would be difficult for us to tell.

Why are we assuming the server is using Unix accounts? The system may be using
virtual mailbox domains with some sort of Web interface such as ISPConfig or
PostfixAdmin.
as root, run:
find / -name garyv -type d
where garyv is the name of a user you already know exists. Try a couple
different names if it comes up blank.
In this example, if it comes up with:
/home/garyv
we might assume the system is using Unix accounts.
If it comes up with something like this (possibly in addition to /home) then we
may assume it's using virtual domains:
/var/vmail/example.org/garyv
Of course, the output of 'postconf -n' would be useful.
Do you truly not have any idea if there is a web interface involved?
What is the output from this:
ls -l /var/www
