I'm with Kai on most of this.

Exim and Procmail.... Hmm I like Postfix, but I don't think the MTA will
make much difference, it is the easy bit.

Ilohamail has some rough edges, so if you are afraid of hacking some PHP
it might not be the program, but I really like it - easy to use, easy to
set up, and just small enough so people like me can find the right bit
to hack if it doesn't do quite what I want. It also has a lot of options
buried in the config files, so worth reading them carefully. The author
is really responsive to help requests, but maybe it needs a tad more
testing before each release - buggy like using Microsoft software except
you have the source and can get fixes.

150 users - /etc/passwd and a false shell as Kai says unless they have
authentication details on another system!? If you want to script
useradd, google as there are Perl snippets around to generate the
encrypted passwords for you (with a suitably random salt etc) which is
usually where it falls down.
