If you do deliveries to $HOME then I see no problem at all. We used qmailUid and qmailGid to make it possible to store the mails in a different place and different user. At the time qmail-ldap started it was not yet defined how posixAccount will be used and so we decided to use own attributes. because of this it is possible to have a qmailUser and a posixAccount for the same entry but they do not influence each other. -- :wq Claudio
