If only one of the two are defined it will be internally used as home directory of the specified user. That's why qmail-ldaplookup reports the your mailMessageStore as homeDirectory. If both are defined homeDirectory will be used as home directory of the specified user and mailMessageStore ends up as aliasempty (the delivery instruction, normally something like ./Maildir/). Small note, homeDirectory needs to be an absolute path whereas mailMessageStore may be relative and will the be prepended by ~control/ldapmailstore > > > >in qmail-ldap.h both (LDAP_MAILSTORE and LDAP_OMEDIR) are defined. > >Besides, QLDAPINSTALL increased confusion.. as how to use > >LDAP_MAILSTORE only.. > > > Just use it and it will work. Btw. your problem is the creation of a homedir automatically so you should try two things first. a) if I create the homedir by hand does mail delivery work btw. the best test is "su vmail -c `cat /var/qmail/control/dirmaker` /var/vmail/admin ./Maildir". With that you check that your script works. b) if a) works lets add some debug output to my dirmaker script and let's run qmail-ldap with some high LOG_LEVEL to see where the problem is. -- :wq Claudio
