It is, you know.

You misunderstand. I'm not talking about routing mail in an smtp sense,
I'm talking about using Openldap as a source of data for addresses etc.
to use for the smtp routing of mail - and for many other smtp-related
things.

Pierangelo answered the rest and told you the reasons. In short, you
can't do things the way you want, you have to do it as I said. Of course
you don't really have to switch to Exim, just adapt the principle to
Sendmail. However, I don't know one iota about Sendmail, let alone
combining it with LDAP.

Oh yes, thanks :-)

Several different things. The Openldap command tools, GQ, Ximian's
Evolution (honestly, even for address management), Horde's Turba (PHP4)
and stuff I write myself in PHP4. There's only one one, central DSA
(server, directory) and I use all those tools for management, though for
different purposes. Without Openldap, the machine on which I'm writing
this would be completely useless.

Best,

Tony
