New question

[Brian Berglund]

Would it be good to just do an LDAP pull rather than a SQL pull?

My setup is quite different I am sure. But if anyone has a easy
solution. 

We are trying to validate users from 
5 - 6 exchange servers and an Imail server. 

Once the validation is done, then we will scan and relay to those
servers based on ip addresses. 

 Is anyone else doing something like this?

 Anything is possible if you write code for it =p

 That being said, it might be easier for you to just automate an extract
every hour of the users and relay destinations and build the required
files that Sendmail uses from that.

 Probably less overhead than having to check against an SQL source for
every incoming message.
