LDAP does make things a little easier but how do you synchronize stored e-mails and filtering rules between servers?

dsync seems to stop working properly after a while for some reason, the usual solution is to upgrade it, which implies a compile from source. after a while it's a pain to keep all these packages up to date.

i am using it in production (debian wheezy package, version 2.1.7-7 now) and it works pretty reliable. do you have a link to a bug report? i kind of depend on it atm, so i'd like to know its bugs.
It required some upfront configuration, but it has run itself with minimal configuration changes and 'apt-get' updates for almost 6 years now. I never touch it, and it works.

That assumes that user's want to primarily use webmail. In this renaissance of Mac OS X mail clients and mobile phones, that hasn't been the case here.
