I'm trying to finish my dovecot setup but things are unclear for me.
I want director proxying mapping to same server for LMTP and POP/IMAP
connections. My authdb is LDAP and LMTP user are queried with mail
adress (ldap mail attribute) while IMAP/POP users are identified with
uid (ldap uid attribute) wich is completly different.
So i end up defining my ldap querys mapping ldap mail attribute to user
in *_attrs (best choice for future use than uid for our setup) with this
configuration in dovecot-ldap.conf.ext:
uris = ldap://ldap.uang
dn = cn=acces-smtp, ou=access, dc=univ-angers, dc=fr
dnpass = *********
base = ou=people, dc=univ-angers, dc=fr
user_attrs = mail=user,homeDirectory=home
user_filter = (&(|(uid=%u) (mail=%u)
(auaAliasEmail=%u))(|(auaStatut=etu)(auaStatut=etu-sortant)(auaStatut=perso)(auaStatut=perso-sortant)))
pass_attrs = mail=user,userPassword=password
pass_filter = (&(|(uid=%u) (mail=%u) (auaAliasEmail=%u))
(|(auaStatut=etu)(auaStatut=etu-sortant)(auaStatut=perso)(auaStatut=perso-sortant)))
iterate_attrs = mail=user
iterate_filter =
(|(auaStatut=etu)(auaStatut=etu-sortant)(auaStatut=perso)(auaStatut=perso-sortant))
default_pass_scheme = MD5-CRYPT
Is it the correct method, or do i miss something?

Hello,
First, thanks for this great piece of software.
I'm new to dovecot and i've just converted my old courier configuration
on pop/imap server side, everithing is working just fine on this side
and speed gain expected was found (not enough for our busy servers :).
Setup is done with 3 dovecot virtual servers load balanced with a
Hardware load balancer (this part is a big point of the question).
Postfix and dovecot servers use an NFS share on a NetApp for mail,
Postfix servers are writting directly to inbox maildirs.
Load balanced is maintaining afinity betwen client and server so i've
got no problem with this for the moment.
Now, i want to setup postfix (3 HW load balanced) for local delivery
with LMTP on deovecot servers, and here come my questions.
Afinity can't be maintained between IMAP and LMTP for a user with my
load balancer so mail can be delivered on dovecot01 and read on
dovecot02, from what i've read this can be an issue with indexes.
I think i need to setup a director to maintain LMTP and IMAP afinity
between users and servers but on imap servers i'm identifying user
with their UID, and LMTP need to see emails.
Does dovecot see the same user or 2 users with the same homedir?
So my question is: could you point me to the right direction with this
setup, do you have any advice on this config.
