Summary:                    ldapauth don't allow anonymous bind
Description: 
ldapauth default behaviour is try to bind using password and fail if
unsuccessfull, but some users (for example me) don't want to provide ldap
master password.
My recomendation is to allow anonymous LDAP bind if password is blank.
This method will disable dbmail-users, but it's not important. No one will
use dbmail-users for LDAP updates (high madness level is required for
administrating ldap using dbmail-users).

Try leaving BIND_DN and BIND_PW blank.

Or create an account and call it Anonymous, with a dumb (or blank)
password and no write access to anything. This is also useful because you
can restrict what it has read access to, and turn off anonymous binding
altogether.
