[Dovecot] dovecot 2 variables

[Pavel Dimow]

Thank you Timo, can you please correct me if I am wrong, but this means
that only way to have one dovecot server authenticating users from ldap
without domain part is to use %l in ldap query? That imply to have tree
like ou=people,o=x.x.x.x.o=mail,dc=acme,dc=com
Or there is a better way to do it?
