Here is what I get:

  LDAP error: Invalid Syntax!
For every entry.   My base dn seems fine.

This is missing some of the error details, unfortunately.  It should be
telling you *what* is violating Syntax rules.

For example, I would expect something like:

LDAP error: Invalid syntax (objectClass: value #0 invalid per syntax,
while operating on
'uid=someuser,ou=people,dc=harrisonburg,dc=k12,dc=va,dc=us' using LDAP
server 'ldap://localhost:389')


In any case, this would appear to indicate that some of the data in
your entries is not valid per the syntax of the attributes.  If you
could provide a sample entry in LDIF format, that may be easy to spot.

I really appreciate the help. If I run slapadd -l -d 5 mail.ldif would the output of that help?
