If you are interested, I have a script, qmailadduser, that when you type:
qmailadduser jay at slushpupie.com

*it adds the entry into users/assign (if not already there)
*it adds slushpupie.com into virtualdomains (if not already there)
*it prompts for a password for the user, and creates the username 
slushpupie-jay in a poppasswd file
*it creates the directory structure needed for the user 
(/var/qmail/popboxes/slushpupie-com/slushpupie-jay/) including the .qmail 
file set up for Maildir (and creates the Maildir's)

Basicly, with this script, all you need to do is add a user for mail, modify 
the script at the top for userID,name,locations,etc and make sure you have a 
checklocalpasswd or something that can authenticate from a seperate passwd 
file.  It all pretty much works off a standard install of Qmail.  Its not web 
based, but it is very easy to add users.  I am going to write scripts to 
remove users, lock accounts, add a mail quota system, and am right now 
looking at possibilites for password changing for the users.  If you want to 
try and help with anything, email me off list and I can show you what I have.
