You are welcome. It sounds like a nice project... The only thing I would
have done differently (purely subjective on my part), would be to use LDAP
with or without PAM auth instead of the MySql db... LDAP scales well into
the millions of users, if need be, and runs very smooth g 

enjoy g

I am not sure of where to ask this question, but I have just recently
 finished configuring Postfix:Virtual:SMTPAUTH+MySQL+TeaPOP and it works
 great.  Fortunatly (maybe unfortunately) it is on a test server.  Our main
 mail server (which we are planning to implement this technology to) is
 currently running Postfix:SMTPAUTH+Qpopper.  

okay.. 

 My questions is whether or not the Postfix+MySQL+TeaPOP system is secure
 and fast enough to put on a medium to high traffic production server
 with approx. 3500 accounts.

should be without any problem.. 3500 accounts is not a lot of mail,
really, and is really not considered a high traffic email server. When
you get over 20-30 emails/sec.. 1200-1800 / minute ... or over 100,000
emails an hour, that is getting to be a high traffic server g
postfix/mysql no problem handling what you need. I am not familiar with
TeaPOP, and in looking at their site, they have been out for a few years,
and I have not come across any prior security history problems with them,
that I have heard, unlike Qpopper, which has a very real history of
security issues.. 

I would say, give it a go... on high volume servers, the focal area of
concern is disk I/O, as this will be your slowest area.
