(this block does not generate a fatal error)
It doesn't appear to be affecting the user's ability to check mail (or at least no complaints about that).
The only instances of "LDA" in my logs are this error. The user is a virtual user in MySQL like all the other virtual, including other users on the domain who do not show this problem.
I think I may have posted about this before (last month?), but I haven't found a solution.
