Choose this option if you want MDaemon to use your LDAP server as the MDaemon user database rather than ODBC or its local USERLIST.DAT system. You might want to use this method of maintaining your user account data if you have multiple MDaemon servers at different locations but want them to share a single user database. Each MDaemon server would be configured to connect to the same LDAP server in order to share user information rather than storing it locally. LDAP servers typically respond quickly and efficiently to queries but are slower to update or insert new data.

Store account data in an LDAP accessible store (PRO version only)
Click this check box if you want MDaemon to use your LDAP server as the MDaemon user database rather than ODBC or its local USERLIST.DAT system. You might want to use this method of maintaining your user information if you have multiple MDaemon servers at different locations but want them to share a single user database. Each MDaemon server would be configured to connect to the same LDAP server in order to share user information rather than storing it locally.
Use LDAP server for address book and remote verification
If you are using ODBC or the default USERLIST.DAT method of maintaining your account database rather than the LDAP server method, you can still keep an LDAP server up to date with all of your users' names, email addresses, and aliases by enabling this checkbox. Thus, you can still keep an LDAP server up to date for use as a global address book system for users of email clients that contain support for LDAP address books.
This will maintain a database of your mailboxes, aliases, and mailing lists that your remote backup servers can query for remote verification of address information. See Base entry DN (remote verification) below for more information.
