[Dovecot] virtual domains/users and LDAP

[Anil]

I have two suffixes in LDAP with users, e.g.
ou=People, o=example.com
ou=People, o=somethingelse.com

I have the following two users:
dn: uid=test1, ou=People, o=example.com
uid: test1
mail: test at gmail.com

dn: uid=test2, ou=People, o=somethingelse.com
mail: test at yahoo.com
uid: test2


The users login to IMAP as:
test1 at examle.com and test2 at somethingelse.com.


Here's an (excerpt) of the dovecot.conf file I am using:

auth_bind = yes
base = ou=People,o=%d
scope = onelevel

pass_attrs = mail=user
pass_filter = (uid=%n)

userdb static {
  args = uid=vmail gid=vmail home=/var/mail/apps/%d/%n
}


The problem I am seeing when the user logs in, the home dir is getting
created incorrectly:

Jan  3 14:08:12 vds5 dovecot: [ID 107833 mail.info] imap-login: Login:
user=<test at gmail.com>, method=PLAIN, rip=, lip=
Jan  3 14:08:12 vds5 dovecot: [ID 107833 mail.info]
IMAP(test at gmail.com): Effective uid=500, gid=500,
home=/var/mail/apps/gmail.com/test
Jan  3 14:08:12 vds5 dovecot: [ID 107833 mail.info]
IMAP(test at gmail.com): maildir:
data=/var/mail/apps/gmail.com/test/Maildir
...


I was expecting it to create the home dir under:
/var/mail/apps/example.com/test1, since that is what they are logging in with.

Any ideas?

I am actually surprised that it even let me login with this
configuration, something looks odd in this setup. :)


Thanks,
Anil
