[Dovecot] DoveCot LDA/Postfix deliver by address

2011-06-21 Thread Zhou, Yan 
Hi there,

I am using DoveCot 1.0.7 and virtual users. We want to integrate with
Postfix 2.3.3 to use DoveCot LDA to deliver messages to user mailbox.
All users are stored in LDAP. DoveCot looks up user by LDAP access. 

Our user name is not necessarily part of the address. For instance,
address zhouy@ may be with user yzhou, thus all messages to
zhouy@ should go to /home/vmail/yzhou/Maildir

I do not see how LDA can support a two-step lookup:  1. Look up user
from the given address, 2. Lookup user mail directory from the user in
step 1.

My understanding is that /etc/dove-ldap.conf  is a one-step lookup, it
only does user lookup (without password lookup).

Any suggestions?

Thanks, 
Yan

Both Dovecot and Postfix. Postfix =2.4 are no longer supported.

Typically, you would lookup the user in postfix, so you can let postfix
deliver to the user 'yzhou' in stead of the mailaddress 'zhouy@'.

f.i. a postfix /etc/aliases entry:
zhouy: yzhou
