I would use an SQL backend, mysql, oracle, postgresql. SQL engines are much better at transactions than ldap servers, unless ldap is a frontend to a SQL engine. For the price, you can't beat a master mysql server replicating to "read-only" copies on a set of frontend email machines talking to a backend data store ( NFS or SAN ). Ken Jones
