hello.

there's a file called maildropldap.config, and you have to compile 
maildrop with ldap support.
the sample file that comes with the distro is quite simplistic, and i've 
been using this setup
here to handle my e-mail account for all the mailing lists i am a member 
of. there are fields :

maildir_attr =
homedirectory_attr =

for my case, both resolve to homeDirectory.

so far i'm pretty pleased with my ldap-postfix-maildrop-courier setup. 
courier nga lang is
very picky about the imap clients it supports. sam varshavchik(author of 
courier and maildrop),
is very much a stickler for the rfcs, preferring to support only 
rfc-compliant clients, although
you could compile courier with --enable-client-workarounds or something 
like that. check
the docu na lang. i had to enable this since i use netscape 6.1 and it's 
imap client implementation
daw is broken(according to sam).
