[Dovecot] Does dovecot work with OpenLDAP? (was Re: Please help: LDAP configuration _almost_ works.)

I've gone back to your first post, and you slapd logs show:

Apr  3 08:13:30 fourier slapd[14039]: conn=7 op=3 SRCH
base="ou=users,dc=lorentz,dc=com" scope=1 deref=0
filter="(&(objectClass=inetOrgPerson)(mail=jackmc at lorentz.com))"
Apr  3 08:13:30 fourier slapd[14039]: conn=7 op=3 SRCH attr=uid
Apr  3 08:13:30 fourier slapd[14039]: conn=7 op=3 SEARCH RESULT tag=101
err=0 nentries=1 text=

Which shows the correct filter, but the requested attribute to return is
"uid", which is _not_ in your entry:

# Jack McKinney, users, lorentz.com
dn: cn=Jack McKinney,ou=users,dc=lorentz,dc=com
objectClass: top
objectClass: person
objectClass: organizationalPerson
objectClass: inetOrgPerson
cn: Jack McKinney
givenName: Jack McKinney
sn: McKinney
mail: jackmc at lorentz.com

Try the same search again, but using (note uid on end):

ldapsearch -h ldap.lrtz -b 'ou=users, dc=lorentz, dc=com' -D
'cn=varmail,ou=users,dc=lorentz,dc=com' -x -W -s onelevel
'(&(objectClass=inetOrgPerson)(mail=jackmc at lorentz.com))' uid

It should be empty, hence why dovecot isn't getting anything.
