Processing $myhostname within an LDAP query

[Graham Leggett]

Hi all,










This didn't work.



Using postconf, I can confirm that the $myhostname does exist:

myhostname = xx.xx.xx

Has anyone else found this problem before?

Regards,
Graham

For some time I have been successfully running a postfix install backed with LDAP, and this query works great: ldapvirtual_query_filter = (&(|(mail=%s)(mailAlternateAddress=%s))(mailHost=$myhostname)) I have recently installed postfix v2.5.1 (as provided by FC9), and went through the config to move the LDAP settings into individual files for the new configuration, so the query now looks like this: query_filter = (&(|(mail=%s)(mailAlternateAddress=%s))(mailHost=$myhostname)) Some digging revealed that the string $myhostname was being passed literally back to the LDAP server, instead of being parsed and turned into the machine name as before.
