Things related to Courier Mail server that I'm admining

Courier (as of version 0.44.2) has an old hardcoded filter in ldapaliasd.c. This causes operation of ldapaliasd to fail in some setups.

The hardcoded filter is (!(source=*)). The "source" attribute is no longer in Courier's LDAP schema, so this query usually causes a filter decoding error on the side of LDAP server. Some LDAP servers improperly report a success code on this filter, so ldapaliasd works almost fine on them (OpenLDAP 2.1 BDB backend comes to mind).

I've prepared a patch that fixes this bug: courier_ldapaliasd_sourcefield.patch.gz [1]

(update 2004-02-25: this is version 2 of the patch, also fixing the hardcoded filter in virtual domain handling).

(update 2004-03-11: the fix is in the main source repository [2] now).
