Ok so I am probably going to catch heck for this, but there is an LDAP patch
for qmail. It says it is alpha, but that is BS it works GREAT. Here is our
set up.
1 Master LDAP server
4 Qmail-LDAP servers with LDAP slave servers on each
1 Netapp as the mail store
Of course we don't have 500,000 users but this should be NO PROBLEM at all for
this system, and if it is, just add more Qmail servers or Netapps where they
are needed.
