[imp] Perdition

[Atif Ghaffar]

Yes jon we use Perdition with LDAP to manange a mailstore over 6
servers.
It works great if all servers are in the same network (example when you
want to scale from more than one box in the same network)

But if you want to distribute the mailboxes over the net, then it gets a
bit slow.
Example, mailbox in zurich, Tokyo, London etc. (since it works as a
proxy and not a redirector)
