You can't add or delete AD users via the IMail interfaces, but you can
set IMail properties, such as Reply-To:, disabled, max mailbox size,
etc.

You add the Alias information in AD as well (using the particular LDAP
attribute designed for this). Users without access to AD couldn't do
this.

It's a solution built for single or overlapping userbases (which is
not the same as just having a single domain--we use this for sites
that have several distinct domains, maildirs, etc., though they are
all corporate). It's not for non-overlapping userbases as you'd have
in situations where you're offering delegated, segregated
administration for multiple client domains.
So...never said it would work for everyone, but it's dirt easy. We do
use _much_ more complex and time-costly stuff than this when we need
to segregate and subdelegate mail domains, but this has come handy
quite a bit.

P.S. Something else to consider when contemplating an event sink for a
subdelegated environment is using ODBC lookups against per-domain
tables. Anything that relies on scanning unindexed data on the scale
of tens of thousands of items is just bad programming. Anything but
that. Remember, the mighty ASCII-centric Postfix knows enough to use
indexed data at runtime.
