I am trying to set a up mail server on a ubuntu edgy machine. I followed the howto at http://wanderingbarque.com/howtos/mailserver/mailserver.html . I am able to configure everything except dovecot-ldap authentication :(. After struggling with it for a week I decided to seek help.
The current version of dovecot is v1.0 RC21 and the version used for the howto is v0.99.10.9. I installed & tried to configure both versions but none of them was able to authenticate a user from ldap. I noted some differences in syntax of the dovecot.conf files of both the versions. It seems that the ldap documentation at dovecot site is from the old version of dovecot ( I might be wrong on this!). So if anyone can tell me how to configure the current version of dovecot with openldap?
Maybe you should start by posting the results of dovecot -n and the contents of your ldap authentication file.
And maybe you should give us more information about what your problems are.
