(this is sent to qmail-ldap too, in case anyone there cares)

Actually, your message gave me a bit of an idea (others may find it of
interest, too?).

I've setup qmail-ldap as my primary mail server for 3 domains at the
moment (increasing to 10 shortly). It also hosts all the ezmlm lists under
those domains. I suppose what could be done, is using the QLDAP_CLUSTER
feature, I could setup the mailHost: in LDAP to point at the web server
and have the web server be running a local instance of the qmail-ldap
package. That way, it will handle all the list traffic internally without
any notice to anyone outside.
