Also, what if at some point management forces you to dump Dovecot and move to a platform that doesn't offer SIS? If you change your tune with said users now, in the future, you may have screwed yourself after re-educating your users to the "SIS" way.
Now that appears to be a rather cavalier attitude to take towards the OP's end users.
End users hate self contradictory statements made by anyone, especially the IT department, and especially when they see no tangible benefit of said change. They see the change as a pain the their ass, and simply a benefit to the IT department. In these situations, the IT dept better have a manager on staff with some darn good PR skills. :)
I am not seeing where you got this "self contradictory statements" from. Furthermore, a reasonably educate individual does not see "change" in the terms of anal discomfort, unless they as conservatives. A conservative being someone who never envisioned a new concept that they did not dislike. In any case, this is not a job for the PR department. Rather, it just requires someone with a "set". More apropos, I believe you are simply blowing this whole thing out of proportion.
