James,
my earlier post illustrates how the dbmailDomain objectClass might by of
use. There is no 'supposed-to' in the ldap world. It is strictly a
convenience object that I use to group dbmailUser accounts into a
subtree. I then assign a password to the dbmailDomain so a
domain-manager can gain access to his/her subtree to manage email
addresses, accounts, etc.
There are no dbmail specific tools to manage this. The stuff we use is
homegrown and very much tailored to our business requirements.
The dbmail-user tool *can* be used to manage your accounts if you only
use simple dbmailUser accounts in a single subtree of your ldap
installation. Dbmail-user however has no concept of groups.
Given the free-form nature of ldap it is impossible to create a
can-do-all ldap management tool (no, phpldapadmin doesn't fit the bill
imo). You should either write your own tools to fit your ldap-design, or
use an existing design and tool and adapt dbmail.conf to fit your setup.
On second thought: cpu might fit the bill (cpu.sf.net). We use it
extensively in production environments. Don't let the lack of
maintenance put you off. It's very stable and reliable, especially the
debian packages.
