Waaah.

Maybe - I haven't used it yet!

I may do so.  I'm trying to setup our mail environment with as little 
overhead as possible.  At the moment, Postfix and Dovecot are retrieving 
user information from the passwd file.  I wanted to add TLS/SASL access 
for remote clients to send via our Postfix server - and I didn't want to 
have to maintain a parallel user database just for that.  But I may look 
at setting up an SQL/LDAP backend for these services - I didn't see the 
need with our small user pool.
