Not exactly what you are asking, but you could run sendmail in a
jail(8). That way, you have a passwd file for your mailusers 
independant of your system passwd file.

If you give them /sbin/nologin as default shell, your users won't
have a shell account but will still be able to fetch their (pop3)
email.

It's quite easy to make a script using pw(8) to automatically add
a lot of users accounts.
