Instead of creating an alias to neomail on a global basis in srm.conf, you
could always grant access to it site by site using an alias in each desired
site's VirtualHost container in httpd.conf.  Or you could physically install
a dedicated copy on each site.

It sounds like you really don't need system users then.  You just need a
script that creates the necessary records in aliases (or your own defined
aliases file you can define in sendmail.cf) and virtusertable.  Then you'll
probably want a DB (likely MySQL or PostgreSQL) to store info about each
account such as name, date created, password, etc. and authenticate against
that.  You could  probably use/edit Cobalt's existing scripts to do what you
want and you could create actual system user accounts, but if you plan on
having a lot of users authentication is going to take longer than you want
unless you use a database.
