Yes, but how does this look like? I did not specify that postfix should use
"mailacceptinggeneralid" and "maildrop" for the aliases, the documentation
told me. However, it doesn't tell me how the attribute is called for the
sender canonicals.

Please don't misunderstand, I don't want to use a single LDAP object as the
map, instead I want to specify how the sender should be canonified based on
the attribute of each person's object.

Every person already has an attribute named "mail" which contains the
fully qualified mail address of the person. At present, this attribute is
only used for some address books - however it would be perfect to tell
postfix to what the sender's address needs to be canonified to.

The documentation I saw (and I also searched in case that some documentation
is missing) doesn't tell me very much about how to use LDAP for various kind
of things, basically it just tells me about aliasing (which works fine).
