Indeed. For example, for the company I work for (that is burdened by the 64k limit right now because of lot's of stock linux 2.0.x kernels), I am developing a mail-solution that doesn't chew up UIDs for popboxes.Try the user-less qmail install, HOWTO at: http://www.tibus.net/pgregg/projects/qmail/single-uid-howto.html We're about to implement this.
I have looked at it but it does not fit my needs at all. The system I'm developing (which _is_ based on qmail tho), has several advantages. Also, I don't need 'user-less' stuff, because all customers already have a hosting-account for FTP and shell. The big advantage is that users own and control their own mailinglists, popoboxes, forwards and all that and normally don't need _any_ intervention from us to get anything done. This also allows for easy quota-enforcing and accounting - all stuff from one customer is under 1 UID. With that user-less stuff, AFAICS the admin needs to do work for each popbox created. This ofcourse can be automated, but is still a centralized process. We are moving towards decentralization as far as possible while still keeping a grip.
