Hello André,

Yes, it's possible. I currently have one MX with postfix that routes 
mail to an internal Qmail-LDAP server, although i'm using static 
transport maps. But you could rely on mailHost attribute to route mail 
to the appropriate Qmail-LDAP server too (a la cluster mode).


http://readlist.com/lists/postfix.org/postfix-users/4/20022.html should 
give you a fairly idea on how to set it up.


Side note: I actually dislike the idea that the cluster mode, in 
Qmail-LDAP, only works using QMQP. It would be very beneficial to be 
able to use the Qmail-LDAP mailHost feature to deliver mail on a 
non-Qmail-LDAP server.
