At an ISP that I worked for, all user config data was held in

When fields were changed, new flat files were generated (passwd,
shell.allow, ftpusers, apache, quota, etc, etc). The files were then
scp'd to the various server farms from the postgres box.
That is an idea I had not thought of. Thank you for the suggestion.
That might be a much better way of working with a database.
Having the mail daemons use SQL for auth was too slow.
Customers and support staff had web interfaces to postgres for
config of
services.
I am going to have to look into that. Also, thanks to others for the
exim info as well as the vote for courier-imapd. I have used courier-
imapd and I found it to be a pretty good platform but I like dovecot
better personally.
