This leads to the question whats the difference in your setup between a
normal 'dn: mail=us...@example.org...' and a 'dn:
mailAddressAlias=use...@example.org...' entry? In both cases the mails
should/will be delivered locally, right? If yes, why are you distinguish
those two cases?
Errl... no, because the "aliases" search returns the "mailForwardingAddress"
attribute, which is a list of email addresses (internals or externals), while
the "alternate" search returns always the "mailMessageStore" which is the
local path where the MDA can find the maildir for the local delivery.
So, giving that "mydomain.com" is the domain managed by postfix and two users
jo...@mydomain.com and an...@mydomain.com
mail: jo...@mydomain.com
mailMessageStore: /path/to/joe/maildir
mailAddressAlias: an...@mydomain.com
it will delivery any message directed to Ann in Joe's maildir, while
mail: jo...@mydomain.com
mailMessageStore: /path/to/joe/maildir
mailforwardingAddress: an...@mydomain.com
it will forward any incoming message for Joe to Ann's mailbox, without keeping
a copy for Joe (you have to explicitily add jo...@mydomain.com as another
mailForwardingAddress).
So this why I have 2 distinct cases.
If there are better solutions IYO, please tell me, although we would be
offtopic for this list (mail me in pvt)
Thanks
