[tpop3d-discuss] RE: LDAP Authentication

[prune]

Hi,

having the attribute :

mail: t_tran99@mye-znet.com


you could also (in fact) use the filter :
 (mail=$(local_part)@$(domain))

It should work and be lighter to search for ldap server.

Hopefully it finaly worked.....

Have joy plaing with tpop3d...

Cheers,

prune
