The ldap-virtual settings look a little odd - but I'm rather proud
of my gimmick. You look for the mail address matching the sender
(mail = %s). Return that same address - but format it as domain/ user. Append it to /var/mail and there it is!virtual-aliases is a simple file for me - I haven't settled on an
LDAP implentation for aliases yet I'm satisfied with. I'm using
ldap-account-manager for adminstration, and there's no explicit
provision for aliases within LAM or the base schemas used.
I just asked Pascal as well how he gets around Postfix asking for
mailacceptinggeneralid in order to allow messages to be accepted. How
do you get around that? Dovecot is working fine but I can't get
Postfix to accept messages because it keeps trying to find
mailacceptinggeneralid.

query_filter = (&(mail=%s))
mailacceptinggeneralid=%s ist the default value for query_filter.
maybe the &-operator ANDs your expression to the default.
anyway, if you just want to filter for the mail address, the &-
operator is unneccessary. try query_filter = (mail=%s) instead.

This is a problem in basic understanding of Postfix's (or just about any LDAP enabled program, for that matter) LDAP handling. The docs reference mailacceptinggeneralid in the examples (and I still don't know what LDAP schema Wietse may have pulled that from) - and it is a default
- but YOU explicitly tell Postfix how to use your LDAP configuration.
If you look at my files, the virtual_mailbox_maps parameter specifies a
file - which I created. That file tells Postfix exactly how to work
with LDAP. You can see the query is searching the LDAP "mail" field,
and returns the value of the "mail" field in a particular format.
Nowhere in my query_filter and result_attribute do you see
mailacceptinggeneralid - so I assume you didn't implement my sample config.
If Dovecot is now using your LDAP properly, we're probably getting
off-topic now and you should continue this on the Postfix mailing list.
If you want to contact me directly I will try to help you as well.

Thanks. Pascal was a big help off-list and it is working fine now.
Once I finish my configuration completely, I will add it to the wiki
and write a separate howto as well. Thank you.
