Mailscanner and server load

[Martin Hepworth]

<x-flowed>
Lots of info for this on the web, esp if sendmail is your MTA...


Also some stuff on the list archives/FAQ about synchronising with Active
directory/LDAP based systems...again for sendmail based MTA's

http://www.sng.ecs.soton.ac.uk/mailscanner/serve/cache/270.html

and more I guess for live LDAP lookups..
