EmailAdminUserName is for the admin emails, that should be you. You can
leave it as "admin" and it will appeand "EmailUserDestDomain" or give it
a full address.
you should configure your email domain ...
$Conf{EMailUserDestDomain} = '@yourdomain.com.au';
then emails sent to the users will go to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

You need to make each user the primary user to enable emails about
backups to go to the end user.

I'm not sure you can have each user manage their own passwords without
being able to manipulate other users passwords, i could be wrong though.
Tools that may help - Webmin and or Usermin. Webmin has a protected web
directories module and you can lock down who can login and what modules
and access they see etc.
