Assuming you aren't doing email hosting for multiple domains, you might 
find that it just works as is.  I'm running Exim/Dovecot with IPA, and 
users that are in the IPA & not in /etc/passwd can get and receive mail 
just fine.  Only thing that I had to do was to make GSSAPI work with 
Exim & Dovecot, and I posted a howto for that that you can find in the 
archive of this list.
