I have postfix working well with ldap. The only problem I have is that it can't deliver mail using virtual to multiple maildrops. I am sure this is a configuration problem on my part. For example if I use a group email address such as support@example.com that maps to say 2 maildrops of maildrop=uname1/ and maildrop=uname2/. I can check the result using <postmap -q support.exemple.com ldap:/etc/postfix/ldap_aliases> The result would be something like the following: uname1/,uname2/

That looks right two seperate maildrops sperated by a comma. Except there are no white spaces after the comma and postfix when run places mail in the <new> subdirectory of uname1 and then creates a new subdirectory in uname1 called... you guessed it uname2. So the second mail ends up in uname1/uname2/new/<message-id> which is not the desired result.

I think it would work if I can get it to append a white space chacater after the comma. Oh by the way if I trick it to have a space after the '/ ' which says it is a maildir/ mailbox it still creates it as a subdirectory of the first mail illegally.

Any ideas
