qmail and qmail-ldap works great with uid < 1000. In unix it is common to
use uig/gid < 1000 for daemons and > 1000 for real users.
qmail-ldap does not deliver mails to users with a uid/gid < 100,
changable via qmail-ldap.h.
The qmail-todo "neither by land not by sea" error has nothing todo with
bad uids but with the fact that qmail-todo was unable to figure out a
single recipient for that specific mail and so delivery is impossible.
If you see this error more often it could be that uid/gid are messed up.
qmail uses hardcoded numbers and so it is necessary to recompile the whole
thing when you change it.
