Hi, I wrote the LDAP related portion of Life with Qmail-LDAP. I chose to discuss OpenLDAP because it is freely available for everyone to use. If there were more free LDAP packages available, then I would extend the documentation to include them. I don't know if Felix's tinyldap is mature enough yet to handle supporting large mail servers. I plan to test it sometime soon. I do not feel that Life with Qmail-LDAP is the place to discuss integration with commercial software packages. However, I have mostly used iPlanet because it is far more reliable and feature rich (IMHO). If you require detailed help with iPlanet/Sun One Directory Server then contact me personally and I will be glad to give you all the friendly support you need for a fee. This can be anything from Qmail-LDAP integration up to full scale planning and design, and implementation of global directories replicating in real time over SSL. Alternatively, someone on the mailing lists may be willing to give you a hint here or there for free (myself included). Below is my hint to you. I highly recommend the following book: Understanding and Deploying LDAP Directory Services Timothy A. Howes, Ph.D., Mark C. Smith, and Gordon S. Good ISBN: 1-57870-070-1 -- Mike
