Check out Postfix And Virtual and some type of IMAP for multiple virtual 
users.

There are some documents explaining the setup on the postfix homepage.

i suck in administering sendmail... most of my admin friends use postfix but
personally I use qmail :) ... it uses qmailadmin for webbased mailbox
management and vqadmin for webbased email domain management. if you're
interested, here is a nice installation/config guide..

 Can a user have more than one system mailbox?

 E. g., some ISP provides the next service: a client can make any number of
 mailboxes for himself using web interface.
 Almost all ISP are using UNIX.
 So, how they do this?
 Does that web interface create a new system user every time
 I create a new mailbox?

 I have sendmail 8.13.6 on FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE.

Sorry, I missed OP. 1st: I doubt ISP's relies on unix accounts for mail.
Rather they likely have clients in an ldap directory and mail on some
database backend storage.

2nd: You can create an extra mailbox by adding a line to /etc/mail/aliases:

  mailbox_name:/path/to/mailbox_name

then run newaliases. To let a user access the mailbox you need to set
filepermissions accordingly.
