Just curious, what are you doing with qmail that brings you to this
list?

2x ACK

qmail-ldap fits the bill for "other features" just nicely, imho.


Taking the "not-modified" clause by the letter is hard, though, at
least since the errno-patch is strongly recommended. I'm waiting
for the day this becomes necessary on *BSDs, too. If one sticks
that much to the letter, then qmail distribution, probably
the purpose of this list, will cease to be feasible in the near
future (1-2 yrs?)...
