Easy... I use the LDAP profiles for several things, not just mail.
homeDirectory is an attribute used for several things (mail, FTP, www,
shell access, for example).
I know this doesn't conflict with what you said... yet. But what if a
specific user's delivery method is NOT defaultdelivery? How do I specify
that that user's delivery method is "./Mailbox" instead of the default
"./Maildir/"?
mailMessageStore used to work as a replacement for .qmail's
localdelivery method, and that was perfect (exactly what Lynn's patch
does). Now, what am I supposed to use? I will NOT touch homeDirectory.
And using a full-path mailMessageStore isn't practical. (I would have to
change 2 attribs if I ever had to change the homedirs).
