Courier warns if it discovers multiple values where only one should be.
As far as using only the first value is safe and does not lead to
ambiguities, this is the way to go, IMHO.

But dovecot should print the value it uses in the log, as some LDAP
implementations I have seend return the last value from a multi-valued
attribute as the first one.

"warn: multiple values found for $attribute_name, using value $value"
