That's the procedure I followed. I even created a postfix user/group and a
postdrop group, and provided the make install questionaire with this user/group.

Well, that someone was me. The question was not why it it does LDAP
lookups, but merely why the value of query_filter matters for the expansion
of search_base. Specifically, ldap_table(5) states that %u and %d are
expanded to the user and domain part for the value respectively. Moreover,
if I set query_filter to mail=%s, it does a lookup in the given search_base.
If I set it to mail=%u@%d, it breaks with an 'Empty expansion of search_base'.
So, how does the setting for query_filter (which I believe corresponds to
the filter provided to ldapsearch if invoked on the command line) affect
the search base?
Did I miss out something? Or do I simply misinterpret the error message?
