50 email acounts per PC,.
If the users only needed to receive from 50 possible addresses, but can
reply from one (or just a small selection), then I would be tempted to let
Postfix substitute the email addresses. See the info pages on the
configuration files. In mandrake you can do this on the webmin pages, I
assume the same is on Redhat.

Sendmail can also do sustitution of this sort. So for example if the To line
contains "12345" substitute jimmy@thisaddress.com So, perhaps the operators
could use a coding system for the sustitution on replys, to make it look
like the email was sent from a particular address.

If it is a high volume email system, then doing the processing could be both
good and bad. The good being that your operators do not have to remember to
switch send accounts in the From line, but only to select the correct To
code (Named substitution works i.e. To IBM Sales<12345@67). The bad side
being that your server could become very busy.
