Hello All,

I am trying to use maildrop MDA to deliver emails to virtual users stored in LDAP.

I downloaded maildrop.1.81 and compiled it with

./configure --without-db --disable-userdb --enable-maildirquota --enable-maildropldap --with-ldapconfig=

/etc/maildrop/maildropldap.config --with-etcdir=/etc/maildrop --prefix=/usr/local/maildrop --exec-prefix=/usr/local/maildrop

I am using Ubuntu 5.04 postfix, postfix-ldap, courier-imap are ubuntu packages

Postfix and courier-imap play nicely to LDAP. All fails when I try to use maildrop. Its not connecting to LDAP at all. I can see slap connections log slapd –d -1

$/usr/local/maildrop/bin/maildrop -V 5 -d mson...@xyz.net < /tmp/man

Invalid user specified.

Strace tells me that maildrop only looks at /etc/passwd

Did I missed something while I compiled maildrop ? courier IMAP uses authlib and works fine. (Thanks to good people in courier imap list)

Looks like maildrop not playing nicely with authlib ? I also have /etc/maildrop/maildropldap.config populated correctly. (I think) but strace shows maildrop dose not use anything else than /etc/passwd.

Thanks in advance,

Manoj
