Yes, if you run kolab in single domain it does but not in multi-domain as it's implemented with separate dn's (dc=x,dc=y)

for each organisation.
I have several different domains which I run withing my business, some
of them do more or less the same but under different names.
If I want to use [email protected] and [email protected] I can't as I have
to make a 1 to 1 mapping by hand. 
Now, if I can really do a search for [email protected] inside ldap, get
the dn which is dc=domain1,dc=com and use that as the search_base then
that
would make it easier to maintain, no hand-patching postfix as well as
being very flexible.

Which is exactly what I want to do... If you check what I wrote in the
old mail as well as the description above then you see that
is how I want it to be. I want to be able to extract the dn from ldap
and use it as the search_base.

This also makes it unnecessary to have the "_3" files included as the
information is in ldap and usable directly.
