i had configured openldap and postfix in rhel 5.

I had not installed any source code for the above two.

With the help of rpm only i had configured ldap and postfix.

Now i need to integrate openldap with postfix.

I had followed the redhat documents for integrating.

I want to know wheather it is necessary to complie ldap with postfix source code instead of rpm's?

and kindly tell what mistake i had made here?

plz look the error which am getting while sending mail to user who is located in ldap database.

This is my configuration paramaters:

=====================================

alias_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/aliases, ldap:ldapaliases

alias_database = hash:/etc/postfix/aliases, ldap:ldapaliases

ldapaliases_server_host = localhost
ldapaliases_server_port = 389
ldapaliases_search_base = dc=panafnet,dc=com
ldapaliases_scope = sub
ldapaliases_query_filter = (|(mailid=%s))
ldapaliases_result_attribute = maildrop
