[Dovecot] unknown users

Hi,
I know that the ldap query does not return the result I expected.

Question is why.
Question is why does doevcot look at ldap with the recipients e-Mail
address. What does dovecot look for?
Yes, I know, it is a password request. But why look for a password for
the recipients e-Mail address user?

Since I have static userdb the mailbox to deliver to is defined.
I agree, since the delivery mailbox has "%n" as part of the path, the
"uid" must get looked up somewhere, probably via ldap. But how to
configure this.

    group = postfix

    group = vmail

  driver = static
}
protocol lda {

  sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail
}

I have switched off
"smtpd_tls_loglevel = 2"

Be ensured I have looked at the ldap page - but I am currently lost
where to configure what.
