CURRENT SITUATION:
Currently Im using a Plesk, PHP, Ruby Enterprise VPS with the plesk
for managing customers ( email, passwords, etc )
Mainly all my websites use a custom account for each customer with its
own /httpdocs to serve the php files from ( Wordpress )
customers do not have ftp access and don't need them, they only edit
there websites true the wordpress modified CMS we use.

WANTED SITUATION
I currently investigate in migrating all this to Radiant with the
Multisite Extension. Since I want to dish and leave PHP behind me
after falling in love with ROR.
It seems like a great solution to have a central radiant based CMS
solution but then there is the problem !

FACING PROBLEMS, ADVICE?
We need a solution to manage customers, create email accounts for them
and host this on the server.
We need a way to easily manage customers, adding emails hosting those
mailboxes, with spamassasin and preferreable some
config panel ( replacing plesk ) to mangage the server backups,
clients, email accounts and other settings.

Is there a solution for this? Ive searched high and low but found no
solution for this yet.
Advice on above would be higly appreciated. Thank you.

Why would you need to give up Plesk for that? It's just a matter of pointing to the same Radiant in the vhost.conf file if you use Passenger. Everything else just stays the way it is.

DocumentRoot /var/www/vhosts/mydomain.com/path/to/rails/app/public

No matter how much disadvantages and quirks I think Plesk and cPanel have, if you want to provide your customer with a fancy pancy control panel that they can understand and you can manage easily, using either one of those is a necessary evil.
