Is there any way of telling LDAP that homeDirectory and mailbox are on different machines (hosts)? Google has given a single result: "No, you'd have to use NFS to mount both on the same host". This seems to make sense, given the cosine.schema host attribute. But, all the same, is it possible to define "another host for mailbox"?

I am not sure I understand what you are after.

How would Maildrop access this remote mailbox?

Maildrop really needs to have write access to the Maildir to deliver the messages.

NFS is the most common method to make remote directories accessible for basic Unix file create/open/write/close. You could use AFS, CODA or Samba for the same purpose. Maildrop can't use IMAP or DAV to deliver messages.

The other case is when you run Maildrop on the Maildir host. Then Maildrop would need read access to the user's remote homedir.
