Re: Qmail-ldap + dovecot

Hello,

This is another solution but If you use dovecot-ldap settings you will 
loose session forwarding(proxy) feature of auth_dovecot/auth_imap in 
multi-backend server environments.
With session forwarding feature, it does not matter which imap backend 
server you connect. the server will forward you request to account's 
imap server(mailserver attr).
at retrieve the mails.
Best Regards.
