 Why not consider something that gives you virtual email accounts with
info stored in MySQL?

 I used to use Exim + Vmail + Mailscanner + tpop3d although there are just
as nice configurations available with courier or postfix I believe.

 This way, you and your clients can manage the pop accounts for each
domain via a web interface, and the email accounts themselves exist on the
hard drive but no login accounts are created at all.

 There should be plenty of info at:

http://www.exim.org/

http://www.Courier-MTA.org/

http://www.postfix.org/
