I've stored my 5000 users - using about 1000 domains in a database for
years - and its worked for years. Exim essentially just reads from the
(I use MySQL) database. Support for MySQL (and others) is there already.
This is extremely scalable.
I then have my custom web pages that allow users to manage their own
entries in the database, buy domains, manage e-mail - etc.
I also have IMAP and POP3 services reading the same data - as well as a
Submission only configured version of Exim.
