dovecot - Apr 2005 - ldap uid with static gid problem

hi,
i'd like to use dovecot to authenticate from ldap. in ldap each user has 
  it's uniq uid and gid. unfortunately with postfix we can't use uniq 
uid/gid since in this case we have ot create all user's home in advance. 
   so we decided to use uniq uid and a common gid in postfix since in 
this case postfix can create new users maildir and deliver new mails. so 
i'd like to use everyone's own uid in dovecot, but a common gid (same as
in postfix). but how can i do so? i read the wiki, but the problem is if 
i use:
auth_userdb = ldap /etc/dovecot-ldap.conf
then i have to define ldap attrib name in dovecot-ldap.conf:
user_attrs = mail,,,uid,uidNumber,gidNumber
what should i use in the last field in user_attrs?
or it's not possible with dovecot to define this?
i'd be very said in this case:-(
any advice?
thanks in advance.
yours.

Just remove the gidNumber so the field becomes empty and unused.
