Well, define "very large" first. I use OpenLDAP for that purpose with
probably 100.000 users by the end of the month. It works fine and I
do not experience performance problems so far. That's not surprising,
because I am using the dbm backend with the latest db2 library. The
ability to add new attributes on the fly and not having any length
restrictions is very comfortable.
If you insist on SQL, then I suggest to hack exim by adding a new
lookup method that does SQL queries.
