[Dovecot] Internal Error form delivery from LDAP lookup.

[Jorgen Lundman]

Amusingly enough, just as I added SIGUSR1, I get:

Dec 06 17:38:33 auth(default): Error: ldap(customer at example.com): ldap
_search() failed (filter 
(&(objectClass=posixAccount)(|(mail=customer at example.com)(mailAlternateAddress=customer at example.com)))): 
Server is busy,

So, instant verification there. I think OpenLDAP should handle that problem 
better, but I will bring it up with them on their mailing list.

Thanks,

Lund
