I wonder if this problem is so far of that there are no 'standard' ways of doing it. Every MTA has it's way, every IMAP/POP3 MDA has it's own way - where mta1 only works with mda2 and mta3 only with mda1. Worst of all the IMAP server who promote their own protocol and see LDAP as its disabled stepbrother. But I think this is an inherent UNIX / LDAP problem. LDAP seems a very powerful tool doing for UNIX everything the 'Regestry' has done for windows - and more. Whats missing here is some standardized way of how to do it.
