I have an Active Directory virtual setup and am using LDA to deliver to local recipients. Today I found a big problem with my configuration and not sure if this is fixable. Some of the users have multiple email addresses and the %n variable for user doesn't match their actual username. So if I have realname "Joe Bob" with a username of "joe" and an email of "jbob@somewhere.com", deliver will try to deliver to "jbob" and this is wrong. Here is the relevant part of my ldap config:
user_attrs = mail,postOfficeBox=home user_filter = (|(mail=%n@%d)(proxyAddresses=%n@%d)(sAMAccountName=%u)) pass_attrs = mail,postOfficeBox=home pass_filter = (|(mail=%n@%d)(proxyAddresses=%n@%d)(sAMAccountName=%u))
Using "mail=user" instead of plain "mail" would make this more understandable. Also v1.1 won't anymore work unless you do this.
mail=%n@%d is exactly the same as mail=%u.
Somehow I need to change the username from the LDAP lookup but it seems that the mail attribute does this already. If I switch the mail attribute with sAMAccountName the domain becomes NULL. Anyone know if this is fixable?
So you'd want %n part to be taken from sAMAccountName, but %d taken from mail (or just kept as-is)? Not possible, but I just added "username" and "domain" fields for v1.1 which allow modifying them separately.
You could probably do this with aliases in your SMTP server.
