"Thousands" of email users? How many thousands? Are you planning on deploying the entire solution on a single physical server, or do you plan to build a server cluster for greater performance and reliability? > postfix : 2.6.7 > dovecot: 2.0.6 > centos 5.x > webmin According to your blog, you already have user account information in a mysql database.
