Re: [vchkpw] LDAP or MYSQL module ??

[Nick Harring]

I'm running a set of domains with about 50K users now using mysql. 
Depending on how you're going to structure the qmail+vpopmail 
environment there're a number of things you can do to overcome the 
slightly slower mysql. What I do is run a local read-only copy of the 
mysql database on each of my qmail servers, which are replicated off of 
a master read-write copy.
Delivering roughly 500K messages per day to this cluster I'm running 
three servers for qmail, vpopmail, courier-imap/pop3, squirrelmail. Two 
are dual  P3s at 1ghz, and one is a dual Athlon XP 2400+, and 
performance is more than acceptable (its a pretty darn fast cluster 
imho). The master read/write mysql database is running on a semi-ancient 
Sun E250, however there's not a lot of writing going on as I turned off 
mysql logging in vpopmail.
Hope that helps,
Nick Harring

I'd like to know which module to use for autentication,

LDAP or MYSQL ??

SQL is more slow LDAP,

but I seen that MYSQL module is more used and more accept.

Thanks.
