[Dovecot] DoveCot LDA/Postfix deliver by address

[Zhou, Yan]

Hi there,

I am using DoveCot 1.0.7 and virtual users. We want to integrate with
Postfix 2.3.3 to use DoveCot LDA to deliver messages to user mailbox.
All users are stored in LDAP. DoveCot looks up user by LDAP access. 

Our user name is not necessarily part of the address. For instance,
address "zhouy at xxxx" may be with user "yzhou", thus all messages to
"zhouy at xxxx" should go to /home/vmail/yzhou/Maildir

I do not see how LDA can support a two-step lookup:  1. Look up user
from the given address, 2. Lookup user mail directory from the user in
step 1.

My understanding is that /etc/dove-ldap.conf  is a one-step lookup, it
only does user lookup (without password lookup).

Any suggestions?

Thanks, 
Yan
