Re: dovecot trying to deliver mail to alias mailbox

there must be something wrong in your LDAP query files used in Postfix+Dovecot. Please show us output of below commands:

# cd /etc/postfix/
# for cf in $(ls ad*.cf); do echo $cf; postmap -q it@example.com ldap:./$cf; done

Also, show us whole file content of /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf (Remove password before pasting).

You see, it@ is a member of this group/mailing list, you should remove it from this group.

I checked. There are only 5 members of group it, and I don't have user with mailbox it@. Maybe I should change query filter somehow?

Re: dovecot trying to deliver mail to alias mailbox

If you don't have it@ as group member, then please try to tune your LDAP filter in ad_virtual_group_maps.cf.
