Thanks for the reply Sam, I appreciate it. Correct me if I am wrong, but if I get maildrop functioning, I do not even need to use Postfix (unless of course I want to)?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Correct. You should be able to get some useful help on the Postfix list, that's the best place to get help on configuring Postfix to use LDAP. Now, since you indicate that you already have the current version of Courier-IMAP working correctly with OpenLDAP, via courier-authlib, then you could build maildrop, and end up using the same LDAP configuration automatically. However you'll still need to address Postfix's configuration in some way. Postfix will still need to use LDAP to at least check if the recipient address is valid, before accepting mail, rather than accepting everything, and get maildrop to bounce undeliverable addresses, which has certain security implications you'll want to avoid. Generally, LDAP is a pain even for people who've been around the block more than once. Generally, you do not want to learn two things at once, when one of the is LDAP. You'll want to learn how to use and set up Courier and Postfix first, with LDAP completely out of the picture. Then, when you know what you're doing, you can start fighting with LDAP. But doing both at once is going to be a tough road to haul. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
