I would recommend CanIt-PRO, of course. :-) The DB and Web interface
are already done for you, as is the ability to have per-user
customization.

Internally, it uses PostgreSQL which appears (to me, at least) to be a
bit more "industrial strength" than MySQL under heavy load.  At least
so far, we haven't had to resort to hacks like splitting up mailbox
tables.
