I'd say you're going the wrong way. Set up an IMAP server (dovecot's
simple). Create a user with no login (essentially, the shell is set
as /bin/false), and deliver its email to the IMAP server
(usually /var/mail/$USER/ or /home/$USER/Maildir/). Have the users set
up any email client at all to point to the server's IMAP port,logging in
with the shared username/password.
That's the correct way to do it. It's the most stable way, also.
I believe so. I'll admit, I've simplified the instructions for setting up
an IMAP server, but not by much - it really is pretty simple.
