There is a serious attempt at ldap authentication in the codebase, but
for now I'm yet to hear of anyone using it in a production environment.
Afaik, there are many loose ends; both in terms of the code as well as
documentation. I've included a partially finished example schema file
with matching dbmail.conf and documentation for all the ldap options in
the experimental debian packages at debian.nfgd.net. The code was
originally written for using it against an active directory server, but
I've suggested before that a 'stand-alone' implementation using a
dbmail.schema file could provide a good baseline.
Anyone with a production ldap email environment and ldap c-api
experience should be able to bring the code into a usable shape without
too much hassle. Mind you, however. There has been some discussion on
the devel list because of not-quite complete separation in the codebase
between the storage and authentication layers.
Check the devel list for more indepth.

I haven't found much information out there on using DBMail w/ IMAP. I
currently have all my users in an ldap directory that I also use to
authenticate w applications such as a Samba PDC, and Horde. I want to
use DBMail because it would make creating user accounts a painless process.
Can anyone point me to some information on how to get DBMail working
with an existing LDAP directory?
