I'm looking for suggestions on storing email aliases in ldap. It seems that

Thanks!
Try like below
dn: sendmailMTAKey=testuser,dc=example,dc=com
objectClass: sendmailMTA
objectClass: sendmailMTAAlias
objectClass: sendmailMTAAliasObject
sendmailMTAAliasGrouping: aliases
sendmailMTACluster: ldapter-cluster
sendmailMTAKey: testuser
sendmailMTAKey: tuser
sendmailMTAKey: testu
sendmailMTAKey: test.user
sendmailMTAKey: test_user
sendmailMTAAliasValue:test_user@example.com <mailto:test_user@example.com>
sendmailMTAAliasValue: user.tes
replace the cluster name with the one you have mentioned insendmail.mc
<
http://sendmail.mc> file
Once the above entries are added to ldap server, please test using sendmail -bv command
and see whether it returns the correct results or not.
Add the server address and basedn to /etc/openldap/ldap.conf file.
schemas that have application specific names in them (sendmailMTA*) make me
shiver. Seems to defeat the purpose of a directory server.
I'm leaning towards using mailGroup as it does seem to be in 389 (though I
needed to make some changes there due to trying to implement ldap routing as
well) and as the postfix howto mentions it seems usable there too. With
sendmail one does:
define(`ALIAS_FILE', `ldap:-k (&(objectClass=mailGroup)(mail=%0)) -v
mgrpRFC822MailMember')
Now if I can only figure out how to use /etc/aliases + ldap in sendmail, if
possible.
