This has been fixed.

4.10.11
06/03/01 - update vldap.c to not look at ld_errno field and instead use
the ldap_add_s return code.

Could you explain what you mean by vpopmail stores most of the LDAP
informatin in flat files? What other options are available?
It would be great if you can create some HOWTO type documentation
on how to use vpopmail with ldap servers.
