OK, I never looked so far, as LDAP was never really thought about. I 
looked once into it, but didn't find a nice tool to insert our data in 
an easy way (like an editor, webpage, whatever). Is there something to 
start with? Of course I want to adopt our web interface to use that, but 
it will take some time.

Hm. I understand this are 3 objects user/alias/domain, but that's only 
part of the story. There need to be objects where users and companies 
are defined, and how they are connected, where the uidNumber is defined, 
the mailCluster, etc.
I don't really have the full picture of LDAP, only know it's some 
directory like Novell's NDS used to be (which I loved a lot). Now I 
looked into dbmail.schema, it says it needs
#       - core.schema
#       - cosine.schema
#       - nis.schema
Is this everything you use? I found a company definition there, but are 
other modifications to make? Might sound stupid, but it's a PITA to 
start something new. Is there a simple way to copy existing dbmail users 
into the LDAP schema? I start fresh, so I'd like to copy everything from 
SQL to LDAP.

I didn't mean that, rather that I want to
1) copy SQL users to LDAP
2) setup dbmail-2.3
3) config dbmail-2.3 to use LDAP

and the old 2.2 should stay with SQL until I fully trust my LDAP setup. 
Like this I also have an easy transition from SQL to LDAP, so there is 
nothing to break on changing the existing server.
