Aha! Thanks.

Previously, the record looked like this:

mail=whoever@virtual.com
homeDirectory=/var/vmail/whoever@virtual.com
cn=Virtual User
uidNumber=[owner of /var/vmail tree]
gidNumber=[group of /var/vmail tree]
userPassword=[encrypted password]

So, I presume that it should now look like this:

mail=whoever@virtual.com
mail=whoever
homeDirectory=/var/vmail/whoever@virtual.com
cn=Virtual User
uidNumber=[owner of /var/vmail tree]
gidNumber=[group of /var/vmail tree]
userPassword=[encrypted password]

However, I'm having trouble adding such a record to LDAP, but perhaps
that's just a bug in the LDAP client software that I'm using. If this
version with two "mail" attributes is indeed correct (please confirm),
then I'll start debugging the LDAP client.

Thanks again.
