Flatfile takes prefidence over LDAP when both are used. If you have eventsinks that use specific email addresses you have to place them in the flatfile. Public folders work perfectly with LDAP btw, you just have to specify the root of the domain. 'LDAP Root container' "DC=domain,DC=com" 'LDAP Filter for Local Adresses' "proxyaddresses=smtp:EMAILADDRESS" The performance hit from LDAP is negligible, ASSP caches the results so it's not like it does a query for each message. I'm not sure how long it caches them though, I'll have to rip into the code to document that one. If you need further pointers let me know.
