Great :)

The first uid is the virtual user name that you log in with. For 
example user at domain.com. The second uid is the system user id which is 
used to lookup groups from /etc/groups file. Hmm.. This should probably 
be said more clearly there. You really don't want to have it if you 
have only virtual users.

Two commas mean simply that the value in the middle of them doesn't 
exist. That'd be the MAIL environment which you can use to override 
config file's default_mail_env. By default it doesn't exist in LDAP so 
it's empty.
