So what do you suggest me to do? I tried with result_attribute = uid
earlier and it gave same results (unknown user). I am confused by thing
that postmap -q usermydomain.com ldap:/etc/postfix/ldap.cf returns
correct data (either only username or full email address depending how
i set result_attribute). Does mailbox command (deliver) get mailbox
location from postfix when delivering mail or it looks for it on its own
(because it's dovecot and it looks into ldap)?

Thanks for your help Victor and Reinaldo.
