Adam and I are actually taking pretty detailed notes as we work through this process, with the aim of eventually creating a podcast to explain the decisions we made, and why. We are always open to constructive criticism and looking for insghts! We can explain the desire for mysql integration in the future. And we'll be checking out postfixadmin in the coming days.

I think you lose a lot of flexability. It becomes harder to move between different email servers and such. You can have true virtual users without using a database backend. I do also see the benefits so please no flame about how much better it is at other things. Secondly, there is at least one program that lets users change their own passwords. Have you seen postfixadmin? It is a web based tool. It can also be used to delegate some administration of the virtual domains to "domain admins". Hope that helps.
