I was able to create two users with the same e-mail address under
mailAlternateAddress, but qmail-ldaplookup only reported the first
one.  I'm not sure why.

This was the setup:

user A had mailAlternateAddress [EMAIL PROTECTED]
user B had mailAlternateAddress [EMAIL PROTECTED]

"qmail-ldaplookup -m [EMAIL PROTECTED]" only reported user A.

Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but this looks strange.  I'm no LDAP
expert.

Anyhow, I still think your patch is a good idea (but it should be
configurable, not always on).  I'm just concerned about duplicate
addresses.
