I think Mimedefang would be the Milter approach. It's probably the
easiest thing to do. You'll need to look into Perl's Mysql libraries to
dump into the database. I think there's a way to configure Sendmail or
Postfix so it doesn't deliver mail, so you're not duplicating messages.

These all sound like great ideas. I've also been looking into mimedefang.

I was thinking that maybe you have an app that decides how to send
messages to your server. If you're exposing an email address, then
clearly you need to have an smtp server, which is probably going to
be Postfix.
There was a suggestion to just have the server dump into user
Maildirs. It's probably the easiest thing. Bear in mind, though,
that user management for Maildir setups can be quite complex if you
have a lot of users.
If you want to use a database, there are least 3 methods.
1. Use DBMail through IMAP/API. I'm still not sure if there's an
api/protocol that will allow you to query/manipulate at a global/root
level.
2. Use DBMail directly through SQL. It's been discouraged here, so
at the very least you're not going to get any help doing it.
3. Implement LMTP yourself or else use a Milter to store you
messages. I've seen simple examples of LMTP code around. Milters are
easier to implement, but not as clean doing it through LMTP.
