exim/ldapm problem

[Frank Gevaerts <frank@gevaerts.be>]

Hi,

I am using exim with users in an ldap repository. Mail delivery
regularly fails with the message:

exim: /build/buildd/openldap2-2.0.23/libraries/libldap/error.c:221: ldap_parse_result: Assertion `r != ((void *)0)' failed.
2004-04-01 10:38:02 queue run: process 15364 crashed with signal 6 while delivering 1B8x3I-0003To-00

The failure is not a disaster, since delivery is retried later, but it
does cause slowdown, and complaints from users.

The ldap director from my exim.conf is (with my domain obfuscated):

ldapuser:
  driver = aliasfile
  search_type = ldap
  group = mail
  query= "ldap:///ou=Accounts,dc=XXX,dc=XXX?uid?sub?uid=$local_part";
  user = "${lookup ldap{ldap:///ou=Accounts,dc=XXX,dc=XXX?uid?sub?uid=$local_part}{$value}fail}";
  home_directory = "${lookup ldap{ldap:///ou=Accounts,dc=XXX,dc=XXX?homeDirectory?sub?uid=$local_part}}";
  transport = local_delivery

Am I doing something wrong ?

Frank
