I want to use /var/vmail for virtual users. So my mailmessagestore should have
/var/vmail
---< snip >---
quark:/home/sam# cat /var/qmail/control/defaultdelivery
./Maildir/
quark:/home/sam#
---< snip >---


One thing I noticed that when I add an entry for the user admin
I add it **explicitely** as

mailMessageStore: /var/vmail/admin/Maildir/

and after I /var/qmail/bin/qmail-ldaplookup -u admin

It shows me as homeDirectory: /var/vmail/admin/Maildir/

How?




One more thing I did is I tried to list all the entries in my ldap (since there are fewer entries)
It shows this attribute as mailMessageStore and not homeDirectory.
Which means its /var/qmail/bin/qmail-ldaplookup who is interpreting it in a wrong way or
some setting that is wrong somewhere.






That's simple, mailMessageStore and homeDirectory are mostly used for the
same thing. 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.



I tried a) but it did not create Maildir in one command as you have suggested.

su vmail -c `cat /var/qmail/control/dirmaker` /var/vmail/admin ./Maildir




What did it then? Calling that dirmaker script with the arguments /var/vmail/admin ./Maildir should create at least a directory /var/vmail/admin. The acctual Maildir creation is done directly in qmail-local but it needs to be enabled with the AUTOMAILDIRMAKE option in the Makefile.

It is possible to create both in one step but for that you need a better
dirmaker script.



After creating new directories individually I tried to send mail same result.
in b) do you mean uncommenting DEBUG option in qmail-ldap.h? or some other way..?





Acctually I would uncomment the following in the Makefile: # to enable the possibility to log and debug imap and pop uncoment the # next line #DEBUG=-DDEBUG

Did it and "make setup check"ed
Started qmail and smtpd back again.
Edited /var/qmail/rc like this
---< snip >---
quark:/home/sam# cat /var/qmail/rc
#!/bin/sh
# Using stdout for logging
# Using control/defaultdelivery from qmail-local to deliver messages by default


exec env - PATH="/var/qmail/bin:$PATH" \
LOGLEVEL=127 \
qmail-start "`cat /var/qmail/control/defaultdelivery`"
quark:/home/sam#
---< /snip >---
Then tried to inject the same mail again, but nothing changed.
