Very true, the docs are the biggest stumbling blocks. :-(

Basically i need this:

1. Control users who can receive mail from external senders
2. Control users who can send external mail
3. All users should be able to send/receive mail internally

I found something that looks like what i need but it does not use LDAP
to store the access list.

LOL, lemme give Exim a shot while i am at it.
