[TriLUG] Banging away at mail server setup

[David A. Cafaro]

I don't know for sure (as far as account to email), but I know you can 
setup a system that uses MySQL for email.  I'm in the process of getting 
the following setup:

http://www.dbmail.org/

This sets up pop, imap that uses MySQL for email and account storage.  They 
use postfix by default so you are already part of the way there.  Just an 
idea, good luck with the mail stuff.
