Jérôme Quelin took a look at the mail he received from the Tax Office  
in April (we can fill in the form and pay online since only a few  
years), and was pleased to discover this header:

   X-Mailer: MIME::Lite::HTML 1.21

so he asked on the list, and Éric German (project manager at the  
MINEFI) confirmed that the server run on Apache + mod_perl +  
LemonLdap. You may want to ask him for more details, if he can give any.

   » http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utilisateur:Eric_german

The web site of the LemonLdap project indicates that it's also used  
by the National Gendarmerie.
