Alternatively, I could package the schema - as postfix-ldap-schema, which I would then Recommend schema2ldif and try to automate the installation a bit
Hi! What's the rationale behind using a postfix-specific LDAP schema anyway? Usually when you've a networking users database somewhere, it is a part of a larger infrastructure, and an MTA is configured to use whatever infrastructure is already there. There's rarely a need to have some specific schema especially for email without having tools and other parts of infrastructure to manage it. If you've a small site, it is usually sufficient to use local files for email accounts, without a need for LDAP or other networking solutions (sql, whatever). This is exactly the reason postfix never provided its own schema for LDAP or SQL user database, - it is kind of pointless to have one without all other parts. Thanks, /mjt
