If you've already got your accounts in LDAP (as implied) then you just need Exim, SpamAssassin and ClamAV. Exim includes the Exiscan-acl patch from version 4.5 so there's no need to mess about patching the source.
We don't have the accounts in LDAP yet but getting them there shouldn't be a problem. I would like to use LDAP as we've got experience using it for mail routing elsewhere and it can easily be reliplicated to every mail server, making the system more scalable and resilient.

We currently have scripts to generate static configuration files from a mysql database and copy these onto each mail server. We will be replacing these with a simpler script to synchronise the data in the master LDAP server to the MySQL database, with a view to phasing out the MySQL database when all the lecacy systems using it have been replaced.
