With the stock qmail-ldap checkpassword program, it is of course possible
to have people authenticate via POP using user@domain. However, some mail
clients, notably some Macintosh clients, will not accept user@domain as a
valid POP user, or will fail in weird ways.
Therefore, I found it necessary to give them some other way to login. The
way I came up with is to have them log in with user%domain, and have
checkpassword change the % to an @ sign before building the ldap filter.
Below is a patch to checkpassword.c to do this. It's a very simple 3-line
patch, but I thought anyone who has run into this problem may be able to
make use of it.
