[Dovecot] LDA questions

[Romer Ventura]

Well I got it working.. I had a typo on my LDAP config for postfix so that's
why the user info wasn't found.

Now we in order to activate an Active Directory account all we have to do is
assign an email address to the mail field on the users properties tab and
works with no problems.

The only thing is that it does 2 lookups every time a user checks for
emails, but since we only have about 120 users and the number not likely to
get any bigger any time soon it should be ok for the next few years.

Thanks for the help..
