I'm a bit unclear on these - give me a moment to ramble on. I should mention I'm using version 1.0.3, my primary backend is LDAP, and I do NOT want to store user mail folders in my LDAP directory.
I currently have the following:
default_mail_env = maildir:/var/mail/%d/%n
mail_location is used nowadays.
user_attrs = %d/%n=mail
You don't have to set mail separately, it's enough to set it once in mail_location.
pass_attrs = (&(userPassword=password)(mail=%u))
That looks like it should be in pass_filter, not pass_attrs.
user_global_uid = 5000 user_global_gid = 8
I recognize that the pass_attrs is incorrect for a prefetch config - but I couldn't get it to work. My mail folder structure is /var/mail/domain/username.
If, under 1.0.3, I can't use the %d/%n variables to build the user/home/mail parameters in the LDAP config, can I do it in the configuration stanza? Something like:
Use static userdb instead, since you don't need to look up anything from userdb. http://wiki.dovecot.org/UserDatabase/Static
