I use a system called dbmail to handle the mail store, pop3/imap/lmtp.
It works great, and my users all use their email addresses as their
logins and I don't have to have system accounts for them. dbmail.org
I'm using imap SASL to authenticate smtp users and it works fine.
Cpanel doesn't know how to deal with it, though. There are a couple of
web based utilities to manage it.
Cheers,
Curtis

Unless those users also need some system level access, this is where

If you really do have a valid use case for system users, you need to
create individual, unique users such as 'test1', 'test2' and so on,
and route incoming mail to the appropriate account. See the above URL
for more information on how to do this.
The URLS says:
As a system hosts more and more domains and users, it becomes
less desirable to give every user their own UNIX system account.
I agree.
This system will however host 5 or so email accounts, that number
will not grow, and I'd rather avoid extra complexity virtual setup
brings (as virtual users for Postfix is one, and matching virtual users
for the POP/IMAP server is another thing).
To sum up: there is no way for Postfix to map "u...@domain.com" email
to "u...@domain.com" system account - did I understand correctly?
