Hi All,

Someone on the list once told me that the qmail-ldap-control patch was just a wrapper, using LDAP instead of reading various control files.

For virtualdomains, I am using a scheme based on a per-domain basis. I would like to add to the scheme the following attributes:values...

mxAlocals: domain.com
mxArcpthosts:
mxAmorercpthosts: domain.com
mxBlocals:
mxBrcpthosts:
mxBmorercpthosts: domain.com
etc, at will.

Then, I would like qmail to read the attributes and use them as locals, rcpthosts and morercpthosts. Actually, I'd like to skip rcpthosts alltoghether, if possible, since morercpthosts does all the work anyway.

I would like the attributenames to be configurable, so on my first MX server I would write:
/etc/qmail/mxlocals-attribute => mxAlocals
/etc/qmail/mxmorercpthosts-attribute => mxAmorercpthosts

and on the secondary MX, whch replicates the LDAP from the first server:

/etc/qmail/mxlocals-attribute => mxBlocals
/etc/qmail/mxmorercpthosts-attribute => mxBmorercpthosts

Qmail would then use a filter like
(objectclass=virtualdomain) and pick the right attribute from the LDAP entries.

Is anybody interested in coding this? Are there any conceptual objections against such an approach ?

For now, I could just run a cronjob and extract the values to the respective files, though.

Greetings,
ace suares
