Phip's post in this thread is right. Using LDAP V1 with Exim 4.1x is
like using Windows 3.10 with an XP (or Samba 3.0) PDC. They just don't
understand eachother. As time goes on and both rise in potential, the
difference will become more and more marked

If you're making an Exim upgrade and are heavily dependant on LDAP,
invest the time in upgrading to LDAPv3 first. If you don't, you'll be
painting yourself into a corner.

Best,

Tony
