Enable ldap users to send mails in postfix

sarajevo · 11-07-2010, 03:27 PM

Hi all,

I just need some of you to point me to right direction here, just some hing as I am obviously I am missing part of jigsaw.

So, I have mail server ( posfix ) and ldap server, they works fine.
I can add/delete users from posfix, and they can send / receive mails to/from any address. At same time my ldap server works fine, I have also users in it, my "simple" question would be...if I have user "test1" in ldap, what I have to do to connect--enable that user to send mails ?

Any hints is welcome, and thanks in advance,

First of all you need to build Postfix with LDAP support.

Then you need to tell Postfix where to find the user's mailboxes and email addresses.

Then you need to add SSL to encrypt the communication between Postfix and the LDAP server.
