passdb lookup succeeds, because uid=%u matches. But then you're doing a
userdb lookup from mail or gosaMailAlternateAddress, instead of from uid
field like with passdb.

Two possibilities I guess:

a) add |(uid=%u) to user_filter

b) Change username to gosaMailAccount's value in passdb lookup, by
using:

pass_attrs = gosaMailAccount=user,userPassword=password

Dunno which one would be correct in your case.
