Hi Enda, Thanks for your reply. LDAP, however, is not really an option because of the amount of emails we get. You see, the postmap hash db is an extract of the email addresses defined in Active Directory. If we have to query AD for every email we get, we will probably slow things down / cause a lot of load on the domain controller (I think we're at around 65.000 emails / day ). This is why we made the choice to make an hash db based solution rather then an LDAP solution. This is faster and produces a lot less load. I hope this makes more sense.
