I'm a newb so please, be gentle. :-)

I've just installed and compiled courier-maildrop for use with postfix and ldap. I'm testing maildrop to make sure it can deliver to virtual users (stored in ldap) but can't seem to figure out how to get maildrop to query ldap.

in postfix I use postmap to query and verify that postfix is finding the right username.

postmap -q ba@mailtest.horvitznewspapers.net ldap:/etc/postfix/ldap/local_recipients.cf bammbamm

but maildrop fails. # maildrop -d ba@mailtest.horvitznewspapers.net Invalid user specified.

What am I missing here?

1. Install courier-authlib first.

2. Configure and set up courier-authlib to read your LDAP records. Using the authtest tool in the courier-authlib package you should be able to verify that the library can see your accounts, and validate the account passwords.

3. Recompile maildrop against courier-authlib. Provided that you have courier-authlib installed properly, and you have verified that courier-authlib is properly reading your LDAP records in step 2, everything in step 3 will happen automatically.
