I found the problem - our sendmail binary didn't have LDAP support
compiled in :P   Oops.

As for MIMEDefang,  we were using it but it didn't scale well in our
environment - not to mention requiring reconfigured sendmail
configuration etc.   MailScanner only reuired the addition of a second
mail queue and scales much better.  In fact it's batch processing
becomes more efficient under load.

But this is thing about F/OSS - choice :)  If MIMEDefang  works for you,
that's great and kudos to the developers.  Personally we like the
MailScanner alternative, but thanks for the suggestion.

Cheers,

James
