Then you're back to FS files... The whole point was to get rid of them...

If you'd like it this way, you could write a script that extracts all
the configs and put them in it's default location on disk, and don't use
the QmailLDAP/Controls patch...

Neither do I. Henning 'complained' tough, saying it didn't work for him.
He's using a _BIG_ (read: _HUGE_ site) from what I understand. He got to
much trafic between Qmail and the LDAP server...

The problem get's worse when you receive/deliver _HUGE AMOUNTS_ of mails
every second. I don't know exactly WHERE the threshold is, but a guess
would be a couple of thousand (?) mails per minute... I don't get THAT
much mails on  my site(s), so I don't know.
