it's more of a nice feature to have: think about when you have one machine with 100000 customers and the management suddenly changes the max mailboxsize from 5 mb to 50 mb. It's not that easy to "add space" in a server. And splitting the accounts over 2 servers, requires 50000 ldap modifies :( Now the latest qmail-ldap patch allows for one machine to have multiple "mailhost" names, so then it is easier to split: you invent a new name every 10000 clients and when time comes, you can split whatever and however you like. Consolidated storage stays expensive ...
No remarks on the second feature request (wildcards in rcpthosts/locals)? It's a nice thing to have if you have more than 3000 subdomains to handle ...
