Hmm OK, turns out I wasn't using Dovecot's LDA but Postfix's. The
attempt to switch to dovecot's LDA created another problem, now users
cannot recieve email and the logs show an "user unknown" error. I
believe it has something to do with the userdb lookups from LDAP, it's
not matchin LDAP:s mail attribute to the username as the Postfix LDA
did... Anyone have any experience with this problem? The passdb lookups
work as I can log in an browse the mailboxes.
