Internet Exchange Messaging Server
Directory Server FAQ

Overview
The Internet Exchange Messaging Server Directory Service (both Enterprise and Workgroup versions) is based upon a client/server architecture that uses LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol), an open directory access protocol running over TCP/IP.  It is specifically designed for managing information about users, groups, mailing lists, aliases processing, and mail routing.  Other Internet Exchange modules, such as the IMAP4 Server, POP3 Server, Message Switch, and Local Mail Delivery Agent (LMDA), access the Directory Service for directory information.
