I am trying to set up Dovecot so that it uses LDAP, but I keep getting 
this error message in /var/log/syslog:
Dec 12 03:38:17 mydomain dovecot-auth: LDAP: ldap_search() failed (filter
user_filter = (mail=user@mydomain.tld)): Bad search filter
Relevant configuration files:
/etc/dovecot-ldap.conf:
hosts = localhost
dn = cn=dovecot,ou=sysAccounts,dc=mydomain,dc=tld
dnpass = password
ldap_version = 3
base = ou=mailAccounts,dc=mydomain,dc=tld
deref = never
scope = subtree
user_attrs = mail,,,,,
user_filter = (mail=%u)
pass_attrs = mail,userPassword
pass_filter = user_filter = (mail=%u)
I don't think your pass_filter is correct. Mine (for example) is:
pass_filter = (&(objectClass=posixAccount)(mail=%u))
