Hi folks,

just for the record: I solved my maildrop+ldap problem ! (took some time, because I was on vacation.)*

*My main fault was to compile courierauthlib without having openldap-devel packages installed. Me stupid ;) ! So my compiled authlib did not have any ldap-support.

Another fault was that I still used SuSE's courierauthdaemond. I made my compiled maildrop talk to SuSE's courierauthdaemond via a symlink to the socket directory. SuSE's courierauthdaemond did some ldap-lookups, but my compiled maildrop never used them. Too bad... ;P

I started from scratch on another machine and everything went fine now ! After that, everything was totally clear... and working ;) ...

bye Daniel

Postfix' virtual transport works fine but when I try to switch to "virtual_transport = maildrop" I get a "Cannot find system user"-error.

You probably get: "Invalid user specified.". For goodness sake at least post the *correct* error message.

btw.: That WAS the error message I got on the shell:

# /usr/local/bin/maildrop -V 9 -d user@mydomain.com < message maildrop: authlib: groupid=100 Cannot find system user user@mydomain.com maildrop: signal 0x06

/var/log/mail gave the same reason "... Cannot find system user user@mydomain.com ...".
