Here's an update to my configuration. I'm able to use Cyrus SASL to enable SMTP AUTH in PostFix, validate user's mail addresses in Active Directory, and store mail in maildir on FreeBSD. I am currently able to authenticate AD users with Dovecot and LDAP, but I'm getting the following error in the log:

Error: IMAP(user@domain): Ambiguous mail location setting, don't know what to do with it: user@domain (try prefixing it with mbox: or maildir:) Error: IMAP(user@doman): Failed to create storage data: user@domain. Error: child xxxxx (imap) returned error 89

I double-checked dovecot.conf, and the mail_location setting is "mail_location = maildir:/usr/data/vmail/%u".

I'm not sure what could be happening, but I'm thinking this is the last thing I need to get my configuration to work.

If it's not mail_location, then your userdb is returning user@domain as "mail". So you user userdb ldap? Does your user_attrs contain something=mail?
