DBMail's LDAP authentication currently uses ldap_bind_s(3) which simply
asks the LDAP server whether the specified combination of a DN and a
password are valid. I think the userPassword attribute is pretty much
hard-coded into at least OpenLDAP.
The field_passwd attribute in dbmail.conf is only for managing the
attribute, not for authentication.
In order to allow more flexible LDAP authentication, we should start
supporting ldap_sasl_bind_s.
