You miss the point. Postfix is database-agnostic. The result from any table lookup must be a non-empty value or "not found". Outside of the LDAP interface, postfix doesn't know what a DN or an attr is, only "key" and "result". The query you construct for LDAP must return what postfix expects. I'm sure there could be a great number of optimizations made to lookups if postfix used LDAP (or any single table type) exclusively, but that's not how it works. If you can figure out optimizations to the LDAP interface without breaking other supported table types, feel free to submit a patch. -- Noel Jones
