IMAP; Horde/IMP; with Postfix/DBMail/PostgreSQL

Horde/IMP was already in place and we are very hapy with it. We use
PostgreSQL as a backend so that we have access to stored procedures for
most of the management functions (as well as high concurrency). We used
stored procedures because we want pretty much the same toolset to be
available from the shell, SQL, Perl and PHP. We have replaced the users &
aliases tables with updatable views on our own tables (another thing you
can't do with MySQL) so that we can allow for user-based account management
on the web (ie. users have a lot more information stored, including a
concept of departmental ownership with concomitant rights over a user).
