Well, I'm not sure.  As I said, you can take a look on my templates.
Openldap is maybe to flexible for us :) and the dovecot setup always depend 
on openldap setup.. which depend on your distribution if you install it with 
apt-get.
If you download my packages you don't need to install them but there are some 
configuration templates you can see and modify.

If you have anonymous access you don't need to bind with admin credentials.
