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.
