WE are not going to support sendmail within the kolab server. Please feel
free to add sendmail yourself though.

The featureset of sendmail does indeed match to the requirements.

We made only precautions to be able to use an exiting LDAP server e.g.
OpenLDAP or other brand.

We will not support the usage of extra webservers or extra imap servers.
YOu are on you own here.

Basically this is our approach in order to be able to finally support very
many installations on many different operating systems reliably without
beeing forced to port every fix (think about security fixes etx) to every
version of every odd target platform.
