ok, I think I have no problem to for the user registered as normal system 
user.
what I like to try is using single UID to create many users. the more 
'system_user', the less secure and your /etc/password file will grow up and 
end up take longer to authorize user login. if use one single UID for all 
email user with a saperate password file. I think is more secure, easy to 
maintain, and all the un-convenience such longer authorizing user login is 
just for email user!?
