Suggestions needed; mail server suggestions

[E K]

I got postfix, dovecot and squirrelmail working off mysql database.
Account information such as email, password, forwarding and vacation
reply is stored in one table and accessed through different views.
Any change to an account is just a matter of manupulating one table.
This configuration can handle multiple domain as well. Mails are
stored in $mailhome/$domain/$user directories in Maildir format.

I added two php pages to enable users to set their own vacation reply
and mail forwarding from within squirrelmail.

I think this installation is neat.
