I looked at LDAP some time back and came up with a few issues. 1) They reported that the open source versions of LDAP were a bit lacking in the proxy and cashing areas. Those two features would be very advisable if the LDAP server was on the IMail box. I would suggest researching if this has been improved. 2) IMail and LDAP has an interesting side effect. Aliases do not get put into the LDAP database. There is a work around, and you might want to examine that before you make a choice. --Eric
