Re: Blocking pornographic sites]



I have a third party webmail setup where all the users are created in an
ldap directory but have the same uid no. so all the users getting
authenticated from LDAP appear as a single user on the mail server. the LDAP
properties specify the homedirectory of the  virtual user so the mails do
not mix but quotas are not enforcible
