Patrick,

I do not use canonical maps at all when using LDAP. I do not need it,
because I just use mailForwardingAddress (actually an alias) to map the
incoming email to the real mailbox.

What I do:

 1. Use the qmail.schema in OpenLDAP
 2. Add objectClass: qmailUser to each user account
 3. Edit mailForwardingAddress when appropriate
 4. Create a file on /etc/postfix/ldap/ named forwarding
 5. Change /etc/postfix/main.cf <http://main.cf> to map aliases to the
    forwarding file

Thanks for the tip. I had seen the qmail.schema but had not really looked into it. Added to the TODO list.

In order to make changes to LDAP, you may use something like ldapadmin
(ldapadmin.org <http://ldapadmin.org>) and put the difficulties to
manage LDAP entries behind you.

It's Windows only and I don't have anything with Windows on it. Instead I use Apache Directory Studio. Works quite well on Linux.

You may create an account with mail attribute as b...@otherdomain.tld and
mailForwardingAddress attribute as myacco...@mydomain.tld.

That configuration is only enough for receiving e-mail, not to sending
e-mail.

May be this can help you.

It did. Thank you for your feedback.

Regards,
Patrick
