I don't know if it is the best way but here is how I do it.

I create the user and add him to the "email" user group.

Everyone that I put in the email group, I change their shell to "/dev/null". That way, I don't have to worry about them logging into a console.
 
But what if the user wants to change his/her email password? He/she can't do it without help.
