Which may be easier to escalate to than 'root'.
Bottom line - secure the box with 'best current practice', keep
it MX/MSA-only, (pop/imap maybe), and hijacking of the MTA is
not likely to be a major concern.
Start adding shell accounts instead of sequestered 'virtual', it
gets harder.
Run Apache on the same box, for diverse users?
With PHP mod-everything, and such?
On Linux?

can you see your own ankles?
Fine!
