I am having difficulties getting Courier to handle LDAP accounts with the kind of semantics I'd like: I have a large pre-existing LDAP which it would be very, very difficult to modify all the users in. I am going to use ldapaliasd, for sure, but I can'treally change the user data at this point.
If I configure authldaprc to use "mail" as the search token, then try to use basic UNIX tools like 'mail', courier fails to send the message because "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" doesn't exist. It also fails to deliver local email sent by things like cron. I also get a lot fo grief from the users I've trialled on webmail so far because they don't want to enter their whole email address into the webmail login page, which is fair enough: they have a userid already for logging into things.
Given the requirements that unix processes need to deliver mail to users, and users expect to log in with their unix style usernames, you should be able to configure authldaprc to search based on uid, by setting LDAP_MAIL to "uid". You should then be able to configure ldapaliasrc to refer your mail attribute to the user by setting LDAP_MAILDROP to "uid".
This way, when a message comes in bound for [EMAIL PROTECTED], authdaemon will be able to look up that user and route the mail to their mailbox. When a message comes in for [EMAIL PROTECTED], ldapaliasd should look up the address and redirect it to the wsmith user.
