Most of the time people tried doing things like this with LDAP but MySQL or
PostgreSQL will do the trick too.

The problem arises with performance. Even with a fast DB-Server you are limited
in scalability if some front-end MX hammers your DB with queries.

For little loaded env. this can be done but in this case you don´t need multiple
SMTP Gateways anyway.
