I've done this with Exim since it supports keeping account info in
MySQL. I'm sure Postfix supports a database in some form, too.

You'll also need something to handle the mail users. I recommend
Courier-IMAP (also supports POP3) to handle client logins and such.

If you're not fixed on using Postfix, take a look at
http://silverwraith.com/vexim/ for the Exim solution.
