This looks pretty interesting.  I've currently got something similar 
setup using Cyrus IMAP and Exim, but it's on a friends server, and I 
need to get back to running my own mail server (just bought RH 
Enterprise Linux ES for exaclty this purpose).

I do have a couple questions, however.

- Do you have any utilities (command line, web-cgi, or otherwise) that 
can be used to maintain the database?

- Is it possible to setup forwarding for virtual users given the current 
structure of the database?  I think this would be done with the virtuals 
table, but I'm not yet familiar enough with postfix to grok the config 
in your HOWTO (I learned sendmail, qmail, and exim, so RedHat of course 
standardizes on postfix <sigh>).

/me wanders off to look into installing RHEL and read up on postfix...
