Don't forget /var/qmail/control/ldappassword. Fill it with your
ldaplogin's password (Manager in this example). Qmail-ldap will need it
when it bind to the ldapserver. :)

Dear Dhammika,

Before you install qmail-ldap, you have to make sure that your ldap server is ready to use with qmail -ldap. Have you included the qmail.schema into your /dir/to/ldap/slapd.conf? If I ldapsearch my ldap server I get
 
ldapserver:~ # ldapsearch -x uid=sato
# extended LDIF
#
# LDAPv3
# base <> with scope sub
# filter: uid=sato
# requesting: ALL
#

# sato, Users, domain.ind
dn: uid=sato,ou=Users,dc=domain,dc=ind
~
objectClass: qmailUser
uid: sato
description: Account for sato.br
mail: sato.br@domain.co.id
accountStatus: active
mailHost: mail.domain.co.id
deliveryMode: noforward
mailMessageStore: /var/qmail/maildirs/sato.br/
###
Please note that ldap domain doesn't have to be the same as your mail server is. The things that matter are objectClass qmailUser, attribute mail, accountStatus, mailHost, deliveryMode, and mailMessageStore.

I did follow tutorial from qmail-ldap.org, but I instead of create vmail user by editing /etc/passwd, I just add it using
  # useradd vmail
and change vmail's shell into /bin/sh in /etc/passwd. This way I can run the dirmaker script to create user's maildirs in /var/qmail/maildirs. Don't forget to include vmail's uid and gid into /var/qmail/control/{ldapuid,ldapgid}. You alse need to include in your control directory the files
    me (put your mail's FQDN here; e.g, mail.yourDomain.com)
    ldaplogin (e.g, cn=Manager,dc=yourldapDomain,dc=com)
    ldapserver (you can put your ldap server's ip address here)
    dirmaker (e.g, /var/qmail/bin/dirmaker.sh)
    ldapbasedn (e.g, ou=Users,dc=yourldapDomain,dc=com)

Here is my /var/qmail/bin/dirmaker.sh
  #!/bin/sh
/bin/mkdir -m 700 -p $1/Maildir
/bin/mkdir -m 700 -p $1/Maildir/new
/bin/mkdir -m 700 -p $1/Maildir/cur
/bin/mkdir -m 700 -p $1/Maildir/tmp

The problem I had with qmail-ldap.org tutorial was I couldn't create user's Maildirs automatically. Hence, when  sent email using telnet, there was no destination for the email. That's why I suggest you to create vmail with useradd command tool. Hope this can help.

Best regards,

sato
