Thanks for your mail and your extensive reference list!

One question though: flat structure vs. tree structured LDAP "setup":

are there any major performance downgrades by having a flat structure? I'd
think for example, that if you have the data in a normal SQL database, that
would be much of a performance downgrade - don't know if LDAP works
completly different.

We are not talking about massive amounts here (80.000 objects per office (
== per LDAP server ) at most), but still, mail services can probably stress
any database/directory server a lot...

Thanks,

Philipp
