> "highly scalable email/ldap applications" wasn't part of the question, > granted, but it was his end goal... Two comments: I dont count `LDAP' as a highly-scalable service. Sure, it is one that is very supportive of horizontal scaling (throwing more servers at it), but from all the indications I've seen/heard its a lot more resource intensive than it needs to be, and likely will not be deployed large scale where I work for that very reason (we'll grow a distributed password system inhouse) Second is that while qmail has a lot of supporters, there are faster solutions out there ...
