hi all,

I am trying to use the courier imap and pop3 servers for allowing email
access to a postfix smtp server. The database is a openldap server. I am
having the silliest problems getting courier to find the directory where
the emails are being stored.

Since the users don't have their homedirs on this server, the location
of the Maildir for a user is:

/var/local/vmail/somecompany.com/mvriens
(this works fine with postfix)

I cannot figure out how to properly set 
LDAP_HOMEDIR, LDAP_MAILROOT and LDAP_MAILDIR so that:

1) there's no need to create each home directory created on the server
2) do not need to put absolute paths in the mailbox attribute (for
security and flexibility).

Simply said, What I need, is to prepend "/var/local/vmail/" to
LDAP_MAILDIR so that it looks there for it's mailbox. How do I do that?

The relevant part of a user entry in the LDAP directory is something
like this:
dn: uid=mvriens,ou=People,dc=somecompany,dc=com
uid: mvriens
objectClass: top
objectClass: CourierMailAccount
...
mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
mailbox: somecompany.com/mvriens/
homeDirectory: /home/mvriens

This machine runs Debian/Sarge on i386, with courier-ldap 0.47-4sarge3,
courier-imap 3.0.8-4sarge3, courier-pop 0.47-4sarge3 and slapd 2.2.23-8

Regards,

Marijn Vriens
