You can configure PAM to use LDAP and thus "eliminating" the need of
creating local posix users. As far as the mail is concerned, you will have
several steps to follow, in the sense that both the webmail and the
smtp/pop3 need to be configured to support ldap authentication and you
should find all the information in the mta documentation.
you will probably have to extend the ldap schema: we had to do it to have
qmail and vpomail authenticated again an LDAP directory (I also tested it
with Lotus Domino and was able to use openldap users for domino web-based
application)
Hope it helps
