We've all heard that one before - I've even told it to myself. I now have
about a dozen accounts on my server.

It took me about 1/2 day to set up MySQL-based virtual users, complete with
mail delivery, SMTP auth, and IMAP/POP auth (this is why I went the
database route - it's easier than LDAP and both postfix and dovecot support
it). And it's been worth it - when a buddy says "hey, can you setup an
email account for me?" I can do it in seconds with one or two table edits.
