In an environment where all users are virtual users, and all delivery takes place via one uid, can the webmail binary be setuid to the virtual mail user rather then root?

You can, provided that you also use the configure script option to set the owner of the login cache directory to the same (it defaults to bin, which won't work if sqwebmail cannot set itself to run as the bin user).

There will also be a similar issue with groupware calendaring, which also needs to be resolved the same way.
