Description: Scalable virtual mail domain system built on Postfix and LDAP
A scalable (but not HA, atleast not yet) virtual domain system for
handling mail for many users, based on Postfix, LDAP and maildrop
(Courier-IMAP will be integrated soon).
It's nowhere near finished, but it should be a good direction to go to.
