sudo.  We write a couple of wrapper scripts around adduser (it does a
few other things as well) and allow access to it through sudo.

An even better (or at least potentially easier) method put the users in
a database or LDAP.  Most MTA and Linux itself support lookups of
aliases and users in this fashion, wrapping a web interface around a db
(and likely LDAP) isn't too hard.
