BN> Hi guys, BN> �
BN> I already read the qmail-ldap-control patch how-to (insid BN> Life with qmail) but there's a point that is not clear yet. Read BN> this piece from the how-to: BN> � BN> "This patch makes it possible to store all the information BN> that qmail usually gets from the controls file (usually in BN> /var/qmail/control/) from your LDAP server instead of reading BN> files." BN> � BN> When the author says "makes it possible", does he mean that, BN> once this patch is installed, the qmail system CAN read the BN> control settings from the ~control/files OR directly from the LDAP BN> directory? BN> � BN> If the OR condition is true, does one source have precedence BN> (or preference) over the other? I mean,�when I am using this BN> patch, if�I set in the ~control/helohost file that the name to use BN> when saying "helo" to the remote smtp servers is BN> "spider.mynet.com.br" but, differently, in the LDAP directory i BN> set the analogous attribute to something like "helohost: BN> cock.mynet.com.br". Which of these values gonna be used by BN> qmail-remote when it decides what name it�must�use to say 'helo' BN> for the remote server? BN> � BN> thanks, from what I know, it will first try to read LDAP, if the info is not found there, it will try controls files. there is also a compile option in the Makefile that controls the behavior.
