Postfix is a scalable, secure implementation of a SMTP mail transfer agent for UNIX operating systems. It is part of nearly all Linux distributions today. We try to avoid strong dependencies on individual or version dependent features. The client server architecture is modeled in such a way that we can even replace Postfix with another capable MTA like Exim or Zmailer later, if desired.
Postfix uses the LDAP storage for the following options:
ldapsource_server_host LDAP Server IP ldapsource_server_port TCP Port ldapsource_timeout Query Timeout ldapsource_result_attribute ldapsource_bind ldapsource_bind_dn ldapsource_bind_pw ldapsource_search_base ldapsource_query_filter
At runtime Postfix retrieves the following parameters from the LDAP directory:
alias_maps replaces /etc/aliases canonical_maps Canonical Address Mapping (inc. envelope) lmtp_sasl_password_maps local_recipient_maps recipient_canonical_maps relocated_maps sender_canonical_maps smtp_sasl_password_maps transport_maps Static SMTP Routes virtual_maps Virtual Address Mapping
