Topic: Alias addition openldap

Hello,

I just installed the latest version of iRedMail. Majority of the guides and questions on here in regards to adding email aliases in ldap surround using phpopenldap which I don't believe is being shippined with iredmail anymore. So, are you able to provide command line instructions on how to accomplish an email alias through ldap?

Re: Alias addition openldap

Another question that may simplify usage for me. I would have gone with MariaDB as I have a lot of experience with mysql. However, I wanted to use openldap because I want to have and maintain a single ldap for all of my contacts moving forward (and merging in anything else externally). Given the above -

Does Sogo use the same ldap service as iredmail?

Postfix/Dovecot are able to use multiple SQL/LDAP queries, so you just define both sql and ldap queries in their config file. for example, postfix:

virtual_alias_maps =
    proxy:mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql/virtual_alias_maps.cf
    proxy:ldap:/etc/postfix/ldap/domain_alias_maps.cf
    ...

Dovecot uses different syntax in its config file, but you can simply copy existing setting snippet (in dovecot.conf) and modify it.
