there is no need to do that, because qmail-ldap searches for the mail ldap attribute not uid. so for the uid=santo you set mail=santo.xav@ramoana.co.id and point the DNS MX records for ramoana.co.id to the qmail-ldap server. (and the ~control/files shoud be configured tu accept local delivery.)
 
hope this helps.

Hello guys,
I'm building a new qmail-ldap server and going to use the existing ldap server. All this time, the LDAP server has been used side by side with a PDC. The problem is, the uid (user login names for the domain) are different from their email address. For example, my uid=sato but my mail address is sato.xav@ramona.co.id.

I can change the uid's according to their email addresses but it will cost me a lot of work on the implementation, that I have to move user's profiles from old directory into the new directory (on WinXP Pro). Is there anyway for the qmail-ldap server to recognize the user email's password, e.g, when I send an email, the qmail-ldap server will search for sato.xav@ramona.co.id's password in uid=sato,ou=Users,dc=ramona,dc
=co,dc=id? Thank you for your help.

Kind regards,

sato

PS. Sorry for the previous post
