Whether or not you have mail account permissions set up under a virtual
domain heirarchy or in normal user spacem, you can set different passwords
for ftp login and for mail login. If you need to give users ftp access to
their account spaces, you may want to look at proftpd as an alternative to
the more common wu-fptd (see Freshmeat, or the source for your Unix/Linux
distribution). I switched to proftpd a while back and am very glad I did.
It's much easier to configure than wu-fptd, and more secure. You can
declare certain directories (such as Maildir) off limits, or R/O.
