This is a problem in basic understanding of Postfix's (or just

The docs reference mailacceptinggeneralid in the examples (and I
still don't know what LDAP schema Wietse may have pulled that from)
- and it is a default - but YOU explicitly tell Postfix how to use
your LDAP configuration.
If you look at my files, the virtual_mailbox_maps parameter
specifies a file - which I created. That file tells Postfix
exactly how to work with LDAP. You can see the query is searching
the LDAP "mail" field, and returns the value of the "mail" field in
a particular format. Nowhere in my query_filter and
result_attribute do you see mailacceptinggeneralid - so I assume
you didn't implement my sample config.
If Dovecot is now using your LDAP properly, we're probably getting
off-topic now and you should continue this on the Postfix mailing
list. If you want to contact me directly I will try to help you as
well.
Thanks. Pascal was a big help off-list and it is working fine now.
Once I finish my configuration completely, I will add it to the wiki
and write a separate howto as well. Thank you.
