write a script to query the ad and dump it to a text file...or write a script on windows that dumps user info to a text file and either push/pull that to the unix machine...then use a patch like validrcptto to verify that the user exists before accepting mail for them..this side-steps qmail-ldap...which, by reading your mail, isnt really necessary anyway. by the way, i believe vpopmail can auth against activedirectory, but ive not tried it. check that out. http://www3.sympatico.ca/humungusfungus/code/validrcptto.html good luck. apologies to all qmail-ldappers out there...

I use it as a smarthost in my DMZ for all incoming and outgoing email. My primary reason this is not waiting to expose the Microsoft SMTP service on my Exchange server to the world due to secutiry concerns. For this purpose Qmail has been great, and I have added a lot of add ons to it like Qmail Scanner and rblsmtpd. However, I would like add the ability to Qmail to have it check to see if a user exists before accepting mail and sending it to Excahgne. It seemed like Qmail LDAP would do this. I set up a test system and installed Qmail 1.03 and patched it with the latest Qmail LDAP patch. I got communication working between my Qmail test system and the directory, but from my testing it seems Qmail LDAP is more ment to deliver mail locally and just use LDAP to store information about the users. I guess the only functionality I want out of Qmail LDAP is for it to query AD when recieving a message to make sure the recipient in the message is valid. Is there some way to make Qmail LDAP work in this manner? I have also looked at qmail-activedir, but it doesn't appear to do what I want either. TIA. Johnny. _________________________________________________________________ Take charge with a pop-up guard built on patented Microsoft® SmartScreen Technology http://join.msn.com/?pgmarket=en-ca&page=byoa/prem&xAPID=1994&DI=1034&SU=http://hotmail.com/enca&HL=Market_MSNIS_Taglines Start enjoying all the benefits of MSN® Premium right now and get the first two months FREE*.
