Effects of LDAP auth

Don't know if my messing with settings over the past couple
of months of
testing has something messed up, but I'm trying the LDAP
auth with maia
to find some things I hope can be adjusted. When I create a
new e-mail
address/alias, it creates the new user as just the user name
portion of
the e-mail address. So, if I create a new email address of
the same user
name on a different domain, no user is created, only an
alias (I
assume). How can I get this to work like internal, creating
users with
complete e-mail address? Is there a good post or doc for
details on how
the LDAP auth works? As in what it does exactly with the
result
attribute, etc.

Also, I found a patch in the wiki for collecting all mail
address for a
user when they login and making them aliases. It was for MS
AD, but I'm
going to try and edit for OpenLDAP. My problem is I've never
patched
anything before, how is that done? Or, since I am editing
anyway, I can
just add those lines with '+' before them and take out those
with '-'
before them? But I think there is also a patch for expanding
the e-mail
field for CSV input and I'd like to find it and apply.

I *think* I had an attribute that can be returned to specify
what the  
full name should be.  Also check the address_rewriting_type,
I think  
you want 4, not 0.

The new per-domain auth in 1.1 will be much easier to
configure.

That's the basic idea behind a patch.   look at the man page
for  
patch for more info...

Do you mean the auth_ldap_attribute? I have set to
mailroutingaddress,
which contains the users full e-mail address.

But my MTA I don't think rewrites the address, postfix hands
off the
full e-mail address, it is a mail transport gateway, no
local users. And
works fine with internal auth.
