AD is more or less LDAP + Kerberos 5
you can always use nss_winbindd or nss_ldap (which requires MSSFU schema
extensions in the AD) + pam_krb5 or even a kerberized mailserver to do
authentication.
In fact you can even forget the nss-stuff if you use a mailserver that
doesn't require users to have a system account (e.g. cyrus-imapd)

You *cannot* forbid root to do anything. And if you could you woudln't
want to do it.
The only way I could think of is enctypting the mailstore with the users
password, but if a user forgets his password you're lost.

kind regards,
Andreas Rogge
