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.
