Cyrus IMAP, sendmail and LDAP

[AJ]

Well, because I read on various lists that if you don't use ldap_routing then
the cyrus mail server can become cluttered with various bounces and spoofed
sender addresses.. This way, sendmail will verify each user before accepting
delivery.  I may try the other alternative via socket map.
What do you recommend?
