Can Courier do something like qmail + qmail-LDAP patch do, ie: create large email clusters with mail routing etc?

What does that mean?

Currently, internal mail routing can be done with aliasing. I do believe that rebuilding the alias file may take quite a long time, the current infrastructure may not scale to obscene number of aliases. An LDAP-based mail routing table is technically feasible, but I belive that when you have a huge number of accounts, you want to have server redundancy, so your only option is to have a shared mail spool, with all servers capable of delivering mail to any account. And in that situation mail routing is not needed.

I am looking at several different clusters in different geographical locations. The clusters will give both redundency and high performance.

I also wonder if QMQP and QMTP is supported in courier.
