However, there is one problem. Since maildrop uses courier-authlib to

was looking at auth_userdb, but I am not sure if this is able to do
what I want. The best option would be that maildrop is not
authenticating at all anymore, but I think maildrop always wants to
authenticate. This because we only want to use the filtering
capabilties of maildrop.
Both authlib and postfix can authenticate against ldap without any special
hacks etc, and you get third party tools and a known interface for
admin'ing
that. Would have thought that was the best option.

Hi Enda,
Thanks for your reply. LDAP, however, is not really an option because of the
amount of emails we get. You see, the postmap hash db is an extract of the email
addresses defined in Active Directory. If we have to query AD for every email we
get, we will probably slow things down / cause a lot of load on the domain
controller (I think we're at around 65.000 emails / day ). This is why we made
the choice to make an hash db based solution rather then an LDAP solution. This
is faster and produces a lot less load.
I hope this makes more sense.
Thanks,
Jorn
