On our postfix servers , we use a remote ldapserver for system-auth for some FM users. System users login via /etc/shadow .. FM users login via ldap.
The MTA is not configured to use any ldap connection. Yet whenever postfix is being restarted , If the remote ldapserver is not available postfix refuses to start. I get errors like this Jun 4 14:53:00 mmail postfix/smtpd[23565]: nss_ldap: reconnecting to LDAP server (sleeping 4 seconds)... Jun 4 14:53:04 mmail postfix/smtpd[23565]: nss_ldap: failed to bind to LDAP server ldap://XXXXXXXX: Can't contact LDAP server Jun 4 14:53:04 mmail postfix/smtpd[23565]: nss_ldap: reconnecting to LDAP server (sleeping 8 seconds)... Jun 4 14:53:12 mmail postfix/smtpd[23565]: nss_ldap: reconnected to LDAP server ldap://XXXXXXXXXX after 3 attempts How do I configure postfix , not to connect to ldap at all. Thanks Ram
