The Postfix packages in Debian support having the equivalent of /etc/aliases in LDAP. It seems that it should support the equivalent of the following /etc/aliases in LDAP: user: /var/spool/mail/user But it doesn't! So the easiest solution would be libnss-ldap and having each user entry in the LDAP being: objectClass: posixAccount objectclass: pilotPerson objectclass: inetLocalMailRecipient Then (I think) they should be able to support diverting mail to other destinations as well as acting as a local mail recipient. Here's from Bennett Todd <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> on the postfix-users list: >If you don't have an LDA available for the job, you could cobble >together something using either maildrop of procmail, both of which >provide flexible programmable filing, and both of which support >Maildir format; just use a .mailfilter (maildrop) or .procmailrc >(procmail) that calls out to some helper utility, perhaps a script >written around an ldap query client, to look up the mailbox name in >the LDAP directory, returning appropriate error codes (like >EX_NOUSER, 67) in case of failure, and delivering into the >appropriate box. Let us know how you go with this. I'm still working on this myself and would like to know how you solve things. -- http://www.coker.com.au/bonnie++/ Bonnie++ hard drive benchmark http://www.coker.com.au/postal/ Postal SMTP/POP benchmark http://www.coker.com.au/projects.html Projects I am working on http://www.coker.com.au/~russell/ My home page
