I'm asking this question again because I didn't get a reply yet, and I suppose others using an ldap backend for imap and maildrop should have the same problem...

Hello,

I am running a mail server (postfix) which uses courier-maildrop to deliver mails in the home directories of my users and courier-imap for remote access to the mailboxes. Both courier-maildrop and courier-imap access authdaemond for retrieving the home directories and verifying the user's credentials when they log in using imap. Now the problem is that courier-maildrop and courier-imap need to query a different field on my ldap directory: maildrop needs to query on the email adress, and imapd should query the uid. At the moment, the LDAP_MAIL property in /etc/authlib/authldaprc is set to "mail". Using this setting, courier-maildrop is able to query for the e-mail adress when delivering a mail. However, I can't login with my userid through imapd. I can use my email adress as login name but it's easier for my users when they have to enter just a (short) user id. When I change the LDAP_MAIL property to "uid", I can log in with my user id but my e-mails don't get delivered. So how can I have courier-maildrop and courier-imap query different fields in my ldap directory?

Thanks in advance,
