Hello listmembers,

we have some trouble connecting postfix to dovecot. 
after a lot of hours the transport and delivery is
working but dovecot can't get the correct user.

postmap -q some.user at domain.com ldap:/etc/postfix/ldap-aliases.cf first
returns: someuser 

The mailbox someuser exists and i can login with this
user on imap and i can deliver directly using deliver -d
but on mail delivery thrue postfix dovecot is not looking
for someuser. It looks for someuser at host.domain.com.

It seems that postfix or dovecot appends the hostname to
the mailboxname. But i cant figure out which of both.
If i change the uid to someuser at hostname.domain.com on
ldap-server anything works fine. how can i fix this?

i dont know if anyone needs config files for diagnostic.
if so - please tell me and i post the needed informations.

best regards
