				| 
 |  
				| Here are my questions: 
 1. Why sendmail instead of postfix? Personal preference?
 2. Have you considered dovecot for imap?
 3. I know postfix does not require recompiling whe using ldap 2.0. Does sendmail have such a requirement?
 4. Do you know of any good email ldap schemas?
 
 I like to learn from people so I am interested in your opinions.
 
 The more I look at SMS the more I like it.
 
 thanks

				| 1. Sendmail comes with Default Slackware Installation and I find it quite stable. It's more difficult to configure sendmail than postfix or exim, for virtual email systems,such as dovecot. I check both exim and postfix and probably I'll add a package of postfix soon.
 But I don't want to messed up sendmail and system becomes unstable.
 So yes there will be a postfix add-on. but I'm not thinking at the momment to replace sendmail.
 
 2. Yes from the beginning. That's the reason I recompile OpenLDAP.
 I was about to upload the add-on, I spent few days testing, I was not satisfied though, but it's a good imap server. Just checking a few things before uploading it.
 
 3. You can use LDAP you have to configure sendmail for that.
 
 4. I don't know any good scemas, I'm not playing with LDAP a lot. I believe if you google "sendmail ldap" you will find a lot of them.
