I have to be careful what I write - what works perfectly well for me
might not work for you, now that you've set up your stuff to work like
it does.

I use neither the mailMessageStore attribute nor qmail.schema and
everything works o.k. for me. I use the standard Openldap 2.1.x schemas.
But maybe you're using virtual domains or storage and I'm not, yet.
Maybe you need this attribute and I don't.

So you're reasonably up to date. That's good :)

Mine are Openldap 2.1.22, Postfix 2.0.14 (snapshot) and
courier-imap-2.0.0.20030721. It's all self-compiled.

Well, it works for me. I use Openldap's inetOrgPerson and posixAccount
objectclasses for the mail attribute, since I only have local or remote
(mail or mailRoutingAddress) users. I don't know the qmail.schema. It
might be that it conflicts (SUP) with an Openldap schema - I don't know.
With the Courier 1.7.3 tarball there is an authldap.schema for virtual
domains that does not conflict with standard Openldap schemas. I've
loaded it, but I don't use it. Goodness knows why Johan Vriesman uses
the Qmail schema, when there's a Courier schema.

Best,

Tony
