That reads wrong.... LDAP provides a username -> host mapping which the MTA can use to correctly route mail. It works really well with 'global' mail platforms. We've just setup the same servers in UK/Europe/NZ/AU all using a single replicated LDAP database. When mail arrives in UK it checks the LDAP record and, if the mail's not for a UK bod, it routes it to the correct host in $other-country. Hope that's a bit clearer -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
