"5.1.1 unknown or illegal alias: [email protected]"
Was this address "working" prior to implementing direct-ldap?
This issue usually occurs for two reasons:
1) You have no user/group LDAP entry which has a mail:/mailalternateaddress:/mailequivalentaddress: of [email protected]
2) You have more then one entry with a mail:/mailalternateaddress:/mailequivalentaddress: of [email protected]
The old (and broken) dirsync mechanism would "handle" the second scenario. You can check to see whether you have (1) or (2) occurring by performing an ldap search e.g.
ldapsearch -h <directory server> -b <user/group base> -D "cn=directory manager" -w <directory manager password> \
"(|(mail=[email protected])(mailalternateaddress=[email protected])(mailequivalentaddress=[email protected]))" dn
e.g.
ldapsearch -h myserver.com -b o=isp -D "cn=directory manager" -w secretpass \
"(|(mail=[email protected])(mailalternateaddress=[email protected])(mailequivalentaddress=[email protected]))" dnRegards,
