No. You need to forget aboy some qmail stuff when using qmail-ldap. We just
have user accounts and assigned mail addresses. VEry straightforward. A
simple (simplyfied) user entry looks like
dn: cn=brahe, ou=intern, dc=bsws, dc=de
cn: brahe
userPassword: {crypt}censored
uid: brahe
mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
mailAlternateAddress: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
mailAlternateAddress: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
and so on.
Basically, in qmail-lspawn a search using the filter
(|(mail=address)(mailalternateaddress=address))
is done, where address is the full rcpt address.
For auth'ing the uid and userPassword attributes count. There is no need in
qmail-ldap to distinguisch between local part and domain part in an address,
and there is no relation between email addresses and uids except that they
belong to an user account.

Unix is very simple, but it takes a genius to understand the simplicity.
