Does this mean you will roll the qmail-ldap-control into the qmail-ldap patch 
itself? If so, hopefully this would mean that a person wouldn't have to 'svc 
-du /service/qmail-send' to get qmail-send to re-read controls (as opposed to 
svc -h). I could never get that to work right anyway.

We are going to being working on a web interface for our mail system. I have 
decided that it won't interface directly to out LDAP server but to a mysql 
database rather, as a gateway (this method works quite well in my 
experience). Perl, of course, will take care of modifying the LDAP databases. 

We'll have quite a granular authorization capability (down to the e-mail 
address level). I may want customer service to be able to change every e-mail 
but my own. Also, this would extend to the attribute level as well. I don't 
want someone changing the mail server attribute. Customers would presumably 
be able to login and manage their own domain / e-mail address (changing 
passwords, creating new e-mail).

Anyway, my point is if we can help with this side of things that would be 
great. This would be a GPL release anyway.
