mail500 was written, I believe, by Tim Howes while at the University
of Michigan.  It's currently being maintained cooperatively by its
users as part of OpenLDAP Project.

I assume you are referring to Julio's efforts.  I believe most
of his changes, primarily aimed at externalizing configuration,
have been committed to devel.  I'm hoping to put them through
their paces soon... (I'm still using the release version).

Can't argue with that... (or other valid reasons not to use mail500).
However, it can be a viable option for some sendmail users.

I would love to see others contribute to better LDAP support in
sendmail and other MTAs.
