Postfix is fine. I'm personally using exim, but I think it's more of a
pain to configure, so I don't want to impose.

I think emails should just be aliases redirecting the users email
account (gmail solves this nicely, and I believe most
@random-project.org addresses work that way).

I believe only the admins should add/delete accounts, so whatever
method is easiest.

If the beer and whisky we drank while Holger explained it to me
doesn't betray me, I think it's in the University of Liege in Belgium,
but I could be wrong.
I'll try and ping Holger to see if he can give us some insight on this.
