I don't think one exists.

I have been planning to write one too, but I haven't had the time and
don't have much of a need.

What do you mean by activate? Who is the customer?

I imagine: /etc/virtual/domains as the list of virtual domains,
/etc/virtual/foo.bar/passwd as a list of virtual users and
/etc/virtual/foo.bar/ as a list of aliases for that particular domain.

Does activate mean adding a new user to the passwd list?

Is the customer the person in charge of the virtual domain? If so, how do
they authenticate before making changes?

Sounds like an interesting idea.
