On Linux servers usernames are unique.  As you know, you can create email
aliases unique to a host, not the entire server.

Do you mean that they won't be happy that their username (used for login)
has to change because usernames are unique?  I think most customers would
tolerate this, but you know your customers better than I do.  Even if there
is a way to allow logins to include the domain name as a workaround it would
surely breakly most of the GUI.  If you aren't planning on using the GUI and
the users are email only there's probably a solution that can be
implemented, but since you said "web servers" and I get the feeling you
won't be abandoning the GUI I'll take it that's not the case.
