OK, so you have LDAP entries with attributes "mail" and "maildrop"- if
something comes in matching someones "mail" attribute, it uses the
"maildrop" attribute and the domain to put it into /var/mail. Right?

Um, acutally, you're using the local_part to generate the maildrop
name, so mail to "foo@???" will go to "/var/mail/bar.com/foo/..."

Have you configured all domains to be recognised in this way as local
domains?

I created this transport:

# Test
ldap_delivery:
driver = appendfile
prefix = ""
suffix = ""
no_from_hack
create_directory
directory = /var/spool/mail/${domain}/${local_part}
maildir_format
user = nobody
group = mail
directory_mode = 0770
mode = 0660

And this director:

# Interrogate LDAP
ldap:
driver = aliasfile
search_type = ldap
query = ldap://arise/ou=people,dc=arise,dc=demon,dc=co,dc=uk?mail?sub?(uid=${local_part})
transport = ldap_delivery

I tried delivering to "jo@???" and it created a Maildir
called "/var/spool/mail/monolith.sinshack/jo/", with the right (I
think) modes etc. for a Debian system (group=mail, group-writable),
with files owned by "nobody" (is this a good idea? Owned by root?).

AFAICT, the return value of the LDAP query is junked, since the
director specifies the transport to use. Without the transport
setting, I use this director to generate forwarding addresses.

HTH

(I'm forwarding this to exim-users since you asked the question there
too, and this might be useful to other people as well).
