Hi,
  
  The last problem was, although the auto
homedir/maildir maker is working, its not following
the default delivery method that was written in
/var/qmail/control/defaultdelivery which was:

./Maildir/

The qmail logs says that it can't deliver to the
/var/vmail/bani which was set to user's
mailMessageStore, because its a directory(it's trying
to write the mail in mbox format). Its hard to
describe the actual logs but anyway, for users who
will encounter the same problem or any problem in the
future, here are the details of a working qmai-ldap
setup:

First and most important of all, as suggested by
Syahid:

Before building the qmail-ldap, set the:
 
#define LDAP_HOMEDIR            "homeDirectory" 
to 
#define LDAP_HOMEDIR            "nohomeDirectory" 
 
in qmail-ldap.h (inside the qmail source dir)

or else you will encounter that last problem I have
encountered above.

In ldap, make sure the user has at least the following
entries:

objectClass: qmailUser
mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
mailMessageStore: /var/vmail/bani

And lastly, if you are just trying to start a clean
installation of qmal-ldap, you should read the docs
here over and over again.

http://www.lifewithqmail.org/ldap/

and this one: I find this the most helpful
http://www.proscrutiny.com/howtos/qmail-ldap.html

lastly, this is the brief and concise, official
install instruction:
http://www.nrg4u.com/qmail/QLDAPINSTALL

But if you haven't experienced configuring qmail
before, like me, I suggest you start reading this:

http://www.lifewithqmail.org/lwq.html

and try setting up a qmail(not qmail-ldap) first. Make
sure you made them all work(qmail pop3d, and an imap
server, e.g; courier). Also, make sure that you have
understood the various components of ldap before
diving into a qmail-ldap installation. With that, even
with a huge difference in the installation process
between the two(qmail and qmail-ldap) I'm sure you'll
have a working qmail-ldap in less than three days.  


That's all folks!!!
