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@xxxx" may be with user "yzhou", thus all messages to "zhouy@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?
Typically, you would lookup the user in postfix, so you can let postfix deliver to the user 'yzhou' in stead of the mailaddress 'zhouy@xxxx'.
f.i. a postfix /etc/aliases entry: zhouy: yzhou
