So, is it correct
that mail_location is the rule, unless mail is set in user_attrs, in
which case mail_location is overridden with the attributes from
user_attrs? Is that how it works?
Right. And you can override pretty much any other setting from
userdb as
well.
Hmm. Perhaps userdb should be returning mail_location also instead of
mail to make this more understandable.
That's not a bad idea. The best thing though would be better
documentation of exactly how this all interacts, or perhaps I'm just
not finding it. I've been through the wiki.
One thing that still puzzles me is why userdb has to be set at all.
In my case its totally unnecessary as far as I can tell, yet I get
errors if I don't set it or set it to nothing. I have it set to
return the home attribute right now, but that isn't used.
Anyway, otherwise it all makes perfect sense to me now. Thank you
for your patience and time!
