Hello Roland,

Currently the LDAP implementation for maildrop only support storing the users information within an LDAP directory, to let maildrop know where to find the maildir, what userid to deliver the mail as, what the quota is, etc... There is no support currently for accessing LDAP features from within a maildrop filter.

Basically, LDAP 'virtual user' support is just that .. support for a 'virtual user', one that does not necessarily exist as a local user account... (allowing for many users to have mail accounts without system accounts .. and even sharing a single uid/gid, when there is no need for a system account).

Hi everyone,

I have installed courier-maildrop 1.3.4 in my setup which consists of Qmail-1.03, qmail-ldap patch 20010501, openldap 1.2.11 and courier-imap 1.3.8.

I read about LDAP virtual user database extension. I editted maildropldap.config and put it in /etc. What should I do after that? How do I access the attributes from the mail drop filter file? There's no further documentation at all about how this LDAP virtual user database integrate into the maildrop filter.

Also, courier-imap 1.3.8 comes with deliverquota program with size 71851 bytes while the deliverquota that comes with courier mail drop is 16652. Which one should i place in /usr/local/bin? Am i right to say that whenever we do an IMAP append command on Courier-IMAP, it is actually invoking "deliverquota" program behind the scene?
