I beg to differ. The simplest way is to change qmail-ldap.h, redifine
homedirectory to some nonexistant attribute (your argument about uogrades
doesn't count. You need to change the at least the Makefile for each patch
anyway, and qmail-ldap.h can usually just be copied over. Just _document_
what you've done for future reference). Than it's ldapmessagestore .
MailMessageStore . DefaultDelivery. Quite easy. (ldapmessagestore of course
only if MailMessagestore doesn't start with a /).

I was in mistake a bit: it only counts for MailMessageStore. I don't use
HomeDirectory for qmail-ldap at all, and this eases things a _lot_.
btw, my second error: homedirectory has precedence over MailMessageStore.
To make things easier I _really_ suggest not to use HomeDirectory at all for
qmail-ldap by changing qmail-ldap.h.
btw, ldapmessagestore is only prefixed if MailMessageStore doesn't start
with a /.

sorry, i was a bit in error.

Do they? explain. In my environment courier doesn't do a single ldap lookup
itself, I'm using courier-imap under tcpserver and auth_imap.

Unix is very simple, but it takes a genius to understand the simplicity.
