Hmmm... what about SQL user auth module, user filesystem, and creating
web accounts into a mysql table? You can authenticate your web, ftp,
pop3 servers from it, and with a few lines of RXML/Pike the user can
change his password from a browser via https. I think this can be very
well automated. If you want a virtualhost per user, even a siple
shell/perl script can fill a server template (or Pike script if you'd
better like creating users from a web interface :))
(or I'm misunderstanding what you mean as 'web account'..)
