Hello, I have LDAP as userdb. Entries containing attributes mail=alias.user1@some.domain.de and uid=user1

Mail to alias.user1@some.domain.de gets delivered into /datatest/user/alias.user1 instead of /datatest/user/user1 by lda.

I have userdb { args = /usr/dovecot/etc/ldapuser.conf driver = ldap } with a ldapuser.conf: hosts ... base ... user_filter = (&(|(mail=%u)(mail=%n@some.domain) (uid=%u))(objectClass=posixAccount))

user_attrs = uid=mail_location=maildir:/datatest/user/%$, uidNumber=29,gidNumber=133

I hoped local part of attribute mail could be replaced by uid for local delivery with dovecots lda?

Any hints how to do that? (With postfix I could rewrite the address to uid@host and use local_transport = dovecot.)

postfix has virtual_transport = dovecot.

LDAP entry: mail: alias.user1@some.domain.de uid: user1 homeDirectory: /dev/null uidNumber: 464 gidNumber: 100

mail to alias.user1@some.domain.de

some substitutions are visibly:
