    We are trying to configure Postfix create mailboxes for each user that are users on our Windows Active Directory.

    So that when an email enters, if a user does not already have a mailbox, postfix (through LDAP) queries Active Directory to check if a user exists (using either "mail" attribute, or the sAMAccountName, or whatever you suggest) and then if user exists on AD, creates a mailbox on postfix.

    All mail would reside on the Postfix server, and would NOT be relayed to an exchange server.

    Adding another problem, our domain name: example.org does not match our active directory domain: schooldomain.local

    Which is why we were looking at perhaps stripping the first part of the user account i.e. email to: would be queried against the sAMAccountName: or the mail attribute

    We can successfully perform an LDAP bind against AD, but postfix reports "User unknown in local recipient table" (local_recipent_maps=aliases ldap/etc/ldap/ldapmaps.cf)

    ldapmaps.cf attached
    --------------------------------------
    server_host = server1.schooldomain.local
                  server2.schooldomain.local
                  server3.schooldomain.local
    server_port = 389
    search_base = OU=StaffUsers,,dc=schooldomain,dc=LOCAL
    query_filter = (mail=%s)
    bind_dn = CN=PostfixBind,OU=Users,DC=schooldomain,DC=LOCAL
    bind_pw = postfixpassword
    version = 3
    result_attribute = (mail)
    --------------------------------------

    Any help appreciated

    James
