Hi Prashant As said in my last e-mail, I haven't used LDAP before so I can't really help you out there. The system we use is large and complex, and the documentation just to help us understand it already totals 13 pretty intensive pages, not including the prerequisite readings which is the NIS and NFS HOWTO's, and also presuming some knowledge from the NET-3 HOWTO, the qmail FAQ, Life with qmail... So our system is big and to even begin to explain how it works is pretty complex. For your situation, unless you REALLY want to redesign your whole mail strategy, then I would recommend either delivering mail 'locally' to a folder which is actually an NFS share from the mailhost (ie in assign/users or /etc/passwd, the home folder on mail.domain.com would be, say, /nfs/user which is ACTUALLY stored on mailhost1.domain.com.) This SHOULD work with LDAP. No guarantees though, I use NIS. If this is too complex then otherwise use aliases (.qmail files or fastforward) as stated previously. /BR Manager InterPlanetary Solutions http://ipsware.com/ > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Monday, August 21, 2000 5:51 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: urgent help required > > > > hi brett > > Thanks a lot for guiding me in the right direction , > > my ldap entries are as follows > > mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > HomeDirectory : /home/user > qmailuid : 1010 ( uid of system user same for all the users as well as > same as ~control/ldapuid ) > qmailgid :1010 (gid of system same for all the users as well > as same as > ~control/ldapgid ) > > mailhost : server1.domain.com ( this is the mechine where i want to > store mails for users in their respective maildir ) > > i will have 2-3 mechines on which i have installed qmail that i want to > specify as a value for mailhost attribute depending on diff users list, > > > > now my MX = mail.domain.com, local = empty , rcpt = domain.com > if some one sent a mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] , then > now i want that after accepting the mails from internet this mechine ( my > MX=mail.domain.com ) will check ldap entries for users ,and will get value > of mailhost attribute which in this case is server.domain.com ,which is > the mailhost for perticular mail id/user , so that ,this mechine > (MX=mail.domain.com) will send that mail to server1.domain.com which has > the /home/user/Maildir > > server1.domain.com , local=domain.com ,rcptto=domain.com > > > is this possible ? how ? am i thinking in right direction , > > any way what is the fuction of Mailhost attribute in qmail-ldap senerio > , how exactly it effects qmail ? > > > thanks a lot , once again > regards > Prashant Desai > > >
