I considered moving the user information to a MySQL or LDAP Server but
I'm searching for a setup which I can implement at some customers and
I think some of them would see it as overkill if I for example setup
an ldap/sql server for only 5 users. Do you know a tool like
phpMyAdmin for LDAP? Because some customers can be convinced with
graphical tools ;-)

Yes, that's right. And although I like courier, I must admit, that the
configuration is very unlikely like every other mta I ever configured.

The Security issues with sendmail where also my motivation to switch
because if found courier is designed very secure. It seems that you
know courier as well as exim - is the security compareable?

And this even more!
You offered to send me your exim configuration. If this offer still
stands I would like to accept it?
