If you just want to accept mail for an additional domain, it should be
as easy as adding the domain in question to your "locals" and
"rcpthosts", then adding the appropriate mail addresses to ldap and
setting the proper mx. You probably want to organize things a bit by
putting each virtual domain under it's own OU and setting to the
ldapbasedn to the "parent ou". That way if you want to delete a
virtual domain you just delete the whole OU and all the accounts get
deleted as well. It'll look something like this:
ou=domains,...
ou=firstvdom.com,ou=domains,...
uid=<accountf1>,...
uid=<accountf2>,...
ou=secondvdom.com,ou=domains,...
uid=<accounts1>,...
uid=<accountsv2>,...
Just make sure the uid and mail... addresses are unique in the whole
tree.
If you're looking to "map" domains so mail to mydomain.net gets mapped
to accounts in mydomain.com then i think your best bet is to use
"virtualdomains" and the ~alias mechanism as with non-ldap qmail.
You can also use "mailalternateaddress" for this purpose (ie mail:
[EMAIL PROTECTED], mailalternateaddress:mydomain.net) but IMHO this
is gets unwieldy. See 8.6 on the lifewithqmail.org/ldap page for a
good example.
