Hello list,

I am about to deploy dbmail to revive a suffocating mbox based system. 
Going through docs and features I had an impression that dbmail 2.1 is 
fully LDAP aware and I might be able to let it play nicelty with the 
rest of the system. Notably I was hoping to be able to synchronize 
samba/system passwords (already handled by ldap) and the dbmail 
accounts. 
I installed 2.1 and started struggling to get it to work with LDAP. 
Currently I am stuck at an "authldap.c,auth_adduser: could not add user: 
Invalid syntax" error, but then it came to me that what I am trying to 
do might not be possible at all due to password storing requirements - 
afaik samba requires clear texts stored in LDAP. 
So my question is - can this be done at all? Have a password change on 
samba be reflected in dbmail and vice versa? If yes - is there any 
documentation on the LDAP + dbmail subject?

Peter
