Listen carefully when Wietse and I recommend "proxymap".

Step 1: migrate to "proxy:ldap:" tables

Step 2: debug any problems that remain after Step 1.

a question here. is there a reason why proxymap wouldn't be the default (so people would have to exclude maps instead of listing the ones that use the proxymap service)?

With local files, proxymap makes no sense, except local_recipient_maps
for doing password file lookups (because libc opens the file not
Postfix).
I don't see why I would want to make Postfix less reliable by
default, by inserting an unnecessary daemon, especially
because I use all local files.


sorry, I was only after "remote services" maps: ldap, mysql, postgres.

that said, I don't think this is important. I personally use things like

maps_directory = ${config_directory}/maps
cdb_prefis = cdb:${maps_directory}/db
pcre_prefix = pcre:${maps_directory}/pcre
sql_repfix = proxy:mysql:${maps_directory}/sql
...

and the variables are then used elsewhere.
