Comment (by anarcat):

 weasel disagrees we should reuse the webRTC password, which changes the
 roadmap and frees us from blocking on the jabber server, which is spun off
 completely separately in #31700 (and not #31686 as previously mentioned).

 So our procedure should now be:

  1. create a new field (`emailPassword`?) in the LDAP schema
  2. update the mail gateway to support changes to the field
  3. update the web interface (to support changing the field as well?)
  4. optionally, setup a separate email server to accept submissions and
 keep mail servers aware that not only eugeni sends email
  5. hook up the password field as authentication in Postfix in the server
 (probably through ud-generate?)
  4. do tests with the users in this ticket, and if this works, propagate
 to all current LDAP users
  5. create LDAP accounts for more users who want to use the system

 i'm not very familiar with the first steps here, so that might be more
 complicated than i thought.
