Hi all. I have Postfix configured to do an LDAP lookup for recipient
addresses. I have an LDAP configuration file in /etc/postfix which the


following contents:


server_host = localhost
server_port = 53890
timeout = 5
search_base = TN=%u,kind=subscriber
query_filter = (objectclass=*)
result_format = %U@%s.alpha.aplabs.com
result_attribute = Server
scope = base
bind = yes
bind_dn = cn=_OSL_,kind=applications
bind_pw = xxxxxxx
version = 3


The result attribute value is the recipient's homed host. I noticed
that somehow Postfix is duplicating the value of the "Server" attribute



when it constructs the result_format. For example, the result_format
is constructed as follows:


16143675...@host1.host1.host1.host1.host1@alpha.ap labs.com


Have any idea what is causing this?

It would appear that your search is matching on multiple LDAP records,
and returning the value of the "Server" attribute several times.

Your query filter is: query_filter = (objectclass=*)

Thay query will probably match all records. You might want to narrow the
search down to the recipient address, perhaps with something like:

query_filter = (mail=%s)
