Qmail can store user details in an internal "flat database" of binary hashed records isolated from the machine's users list.
I personally ran a 300,000+ (light) users webmail site using this solution and it worked great (and when it didn't it wasn't Qmail fault ;-)
I also am aware of a few patches and program to make it work with a MySql database instead. Check www.qmail.org
