Using a database for managing virtual users seems overkill,
until you run into issues like this.
I have a postgres backend for 20ish users, and I can plugin
everything I want. Postfixadmin works geat, and there are many
password plugins for squirrelmail/roundcube/etc that work with
such a database.
Disclaimer: I tried the file-based approach too, but kept
building kludges for things that were a lot simpler with a
database. In the end, I joined the dark side.
SQLite gives me the best of both worlds: file-based stability with
SQL flexibility and easy backups. There is no Postfixadmin-type
solution out there yet, but if you're fine with sqlite3(1) in the
console, you won't miss it.
