(1) I would separate login to Email (smtp+imap authentication)
from any other login (to machine) as many people told you here.
(2) Perhaps write a cgi script? But that needs a lot of care
due to security.
(3) offer a web mailer that has this service? Prayer webmail has
this, but it looks very primitive, just calls a program as I
remember, and seems not to be mantained. Perhaps other webmail has it?

Dear all,
I set up a simple mail server on OpenBSD on a VPS, based on OpenSMTP and
Dovecot. The users will be the Unix users on the VPS for simplicity. However, I
now have the problem of allowing users setting and modifying their own
passwords (perhaps even their usernames) without giving them ssh access to the
host. I don't have technical background and training for this type of work;
however, I love doing this, please be gentle with me. The mail server is a
hobby that is intended for family and a few friends, and is not mission
critical.
I thought something like Webmin could work for this purpose, but without root
access of course. However, I am not sure if such a tool exists. Any other ideas
are welcome.
Thank you so much in advance for your suggestions.
