dovecot - Aug 2008 - Virtual users, postfix and dovecot deliver LDA

Hi, I have question about how to setup ldap-lookups in dovecot. I have 
done my homework by googling and reading documention and sample 
configuration files. But cant resolve this issue.

Background:
I have setup postfix and dovecot. Postix is configured to ldap alias 
maps and is delivering mails to /var/spool/vmail/username/Maildir 
correctly . Username is ldap attribute sAMAccountName from active directory.
Goal:
To use dovecots sieve plugin I have to setup postfix to use dovecots 
deliver. Changed postfix main.cf to virtual_transport = dovecot and 
master.cf to include lines:
dovecot   unix  -       n       n       -       -       pipe
   flags=DRhu user=vmail:mail argv=/usr/lib/dovecot/lda/deliver -d 
${recipient}

Problem is that mail get delivered to /var/spool/vmail/users.email at address ,
not folder named as  ldap attribute sAMAccountNameas it should.

The question is:
How I can configure deliver to do map email address to ldap attribute 
sAMAccountName? Second question is can I use ldap groups as distribution 
lists whit deliver?

Dovecot version is 1.1.2 and postfix 2.5.1

Cheers,

Petri

I'm guessing your user_attrs setting doesn't contain
"sAMAccountName=user" so Dovecot uses the email destination as
username.
If that doesn't help, post your dovecot-ldap.conf

deliver can write the mail only to a single recipient. I'd guess you
could do this on Postfix side.

Thanks, Now I'm starting to get it. but cant get ldap userdb working.
First I was using static userdb (Stubid me ... ;)

I added dovecot-ldap-userdb.conf and it's in auth default, but now
it does lookup users at all. Account that I try to use to bind ldap is
working with postfix. Theres probably something wrong with my static 
attributes syntax.


## dovecot.conf: (part of it)

auth default {

passdb ldap {
     args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf
   }

   userdb ldap {
     args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap-userdb.conf
   }


## new dovecot-ldap-userdb.conf
hosts = 172.16.0.2
base = ou=Oppilaitokset,dc=domain,dc=local
ldap_version = 3
dn = ad_postfix at domain.local
dnpass = ***********
user_attrs = sAMAccountName=user,=home=/var/spool/vmail/%u,=gid=12,=uid=1001


## and in dovedot-ldap.conf
hosts = 172.16.0.2
base = ou=Oppilaitokset,dc=domain,dc=local
ldap_version = 3
auth_bind = yes
auth_bind_userdn = domain\%u
