I've been using Postfix+MySQL setup for some years now, and I'm having a look at the moment at some alternatives to my current set-up. In the past while, I've added AMaViS, Clamd, SpamAssassin, policyd, saslauthd, majordomo and all sorts of other things into the mix. Based on UNIX's failsafe 'one application does one task' philosophy, I've stuck with Postfix.Admin to do all the mailbox administration, and other front ends for any other jobs. I don't want an 'one size fits all' program that tries to do everything, and am happy. I've been having a look at two alternates to my current solution, and one of them I've decided to ask here about - regarding the use of LDAP on the mail system. There's hundreds of pages of 'how to' set up LDAP+ Postfix [that's no problem], but no say on the real benefits of doing so. I've personally had problems in the past with LDAP, it being seemingly clumsier than MySQL to do the jobs on the server - but that might just be me. I'll be moving to a quicker server at the end of the month, so would be glad to know people's take on LDAP. Aside from it being more centralised than having a load of SQL tables doing their different jobs, so does it compare in terms of, say, scalability? Sorry for the long post!
