If you have got nss working with LDAP correctly, then the standard Exim "check_local_user" precondition should use LDAP as expected, so the default Exim configuration should work reasonably well. > Or do I have to configure exim in a way that exim itself queries the > LDAO directory? You can also do this, and it may be necessary if the standard configuration doesn't quite do what you want.
