It shouldn't be that bad really though. Especially since you can nest the 
filesystems. So, I believe you should be able to do something like:

zfs create home/username/mail
zfs set mountpoint=/var/mail/username

Perhaps I'm just naieve, but other than the other poster's suggestion to switch 
mail software, immediate solutions don't come to mind.

With zfs new filesystems are so cheap it is unbelievable. If managing so many 
filesystems seems unwieldly, then please, by all means post about it in detail! 
Improving the management and user experience is something SUN (as well as the 
community) appears to be very interested in.
