Not what you asked for but... "cgipaf" allows users to change their un*x Password, Autoreply and mail Forwarding by a web interface. It also pretty easy to setup email gateways that allow folks to send a specially structured email and change their pop password that way. It sends a request back to the person and confirms the email password change (with the password blanked out). Of course that's all just some simple scripting.
