Hello David,

I spent some time with this problem, because I needed to integrate
open-xchange on my sql lookup table driven mail server - and ox uses ldap.

first read this:
http://www.postfix.org/VIRTUAL_README.html#in_virtual_other
AFAIK that's what you want to do

use virtual_mailbox_domains for ldap domain lookup, not mydomains. I
don't know how to do that because I have no real clue how to get the
domains out of your ldap server.

for virtual_mailbox_maps the ldap lookup has to return any value for all
existing email addresses, so postfix excepts mail for this address.

virtual_alias_maps let's you create alias addresses

IIRC I had to change the cyrus line in /etc/postfix/master.cf to
cyrus     unix  -       n       n       -       -       pipe
  user=cyrus argv=/usr/lib/cyrus/deliver -e -r ${sender}  ${recipient}

and I use
virtual_transport = cyrus

Georg
