Thank you for this hint, but no, that does not work.
Does Dovecot really use this user_filter when postfix passes mail using
the dovecot-lda command?
I now tried it with
user_filter = (&(objectClass=qmailUser)(|(uid=%u)(mail=%u)))
and when I search with this filter in LDAP directly (using the
recipients e-mail address as %u) it returns the wanted user.
I also ensured, postfix passes the e-mail address as argument by playing
around with master.cf, and it does. At the moment the dovecot line looks
as follows:
dovecot unix - n n - - pipe
flags=DRhu user=mail-data:mail-data
argv=/usr/lib/dovecot/dovecot-lda -a ${recipient}
Dovecot still tells me that it does not find the home directory for the
user.

My dovecot-ldap configuration looks quite simple:
hosts = 192.168.0.1,192.168.0.2
dn = cn=mailadmin,dc=example,dc=com
dnpass = foo
auth_bind = yes
ldap_version = 3
base = ou=users,dc=example,dc=com
user_attrs = mailMessageStore=home
user_filter = (&(objectClass=qmailUser)(uid=%u))
pass_filter = (&(objectClass=qmailUser)(uid=%u))
I think dovecot does not know that the username is not the e-mail address,
but how can I tell him?
Furthermore we have alternative addresses here, so for example there may
be an e-mail address [email protected] owned by foo-example.com who has
[email protected] as primary address.
You need user_filter and pass_filter to recognize also the email addresses
IMHO.
Mine look like:
pass_filter = (&(objectClass=suseMailRecipient)(|(alias=%n)(uid=%n)))
user_filter = (&(objectClass=suseMailRecipient)(|(alias=%n)(uid=%n)))
You have to adapt to your own ldap attributes and use the correct variable
(%n) to match your usecase. My users can login (and receive mails) via all
of their aliases, primary address (part of the alias set) or their username.
HTH,
