Hi,

Are there any white papers or articles discussing how to do this?

I'd like to separate mail services from the main slapd server for both security and ease of control further down the road.

Also, would there be a way to tell iRedMail to keep its mail folders locally and just look up on the slapd server for user authentication?

Thanks
