LDAP may not be part of an MTA (although it certainly can be, if it
contains aliases), but it's a quite reasonable part of an MDA, which
qmail also includes in qmail-local.  It's certainly as reasonable a
place to store account information as /etc/passwd, which qmail
supports without an extension.

While LDAP support may or may not be appropriate for the primary qmail
distribution, it's not so wildly inappropriate as to warrant a
two-sentence dismissal.  :-)
