I haven't, but here are a couple of things that might help you
(in no particular order) :
maildrop is capable of operating in "virtual" mode. It runs as
some (dedicated) unix user and handles deliveries for multiple
virtual users.

The cyrus imap server has a filtering mechanism called "sieve".
Since cyrus stores all messages in its own message store not
relying on the unix filesystem for ownership and permissions it
seems like it would work well for virtual users.
