My question is: when I come to add user accounts for the 150+ mail users, do I need to create a standard login account for each person, or is there a neater (and more secure) way? Each user needs only SMTP, POP3 and webmail access to this machine, and surely not a login account too? I just don't want the kids trying to SSH in when I'm not looking.
IIRC all of those support MySQL for authentication/authorisation. It may be non-trivial though. You could probably set up exim to use a standard user and password, then check the sender in the mail is in your domain and valid, if connecting it to MySQL is too tricky. Qpopper and squirrel should both support mysql backends for authentication fairly easily. I am sure somebody else can give you more details - or google for 'mysql qpopper squirrelmail'.
