That's great thanks,
One thing tho I did a "ls /etc/dovecot" and I don't see a dovecot-ldap.conf
Do I need to create that file or install it via yum?
Thanks again for your help, very much appreciated

Hi Rob,
all you need to do is figure out what the attribute in your LDAP tree
is, that holds the email address. Then configure uris, dn, dnpass,
[tls*], base, scope, user_attrs, user_filter, iterate_attrs and
iterate_filter in /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf.ext and uncomment the
include line in /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-auth.conf

Good luck
Daniel
