-          Postfix can use an <systemitem class="protocol">LDAP</systemitem> directory as a source for various lookup files (e.g.: <filename>/etc/aliases</filename> <filename>/etc/postfix/virtual</filename>, <filename>/etc/postfix/canonical</filename>, etc.). This allows <systemitem class="protocol">LDAP</systemitem> to store hierarchical user information and Postfix to only be given the result of <systemitem class="protocol">LDAP</systemitem> queries when needed. By not storing this information locally, administrators can easily maintain it.
