Oke , I found a logfile that's telling me something
/kolab/var/openldap/openldap-slurp/slurpd.replog
the relevant part is:
----
replace: alias
alias: wim.bakker
------
So apparently some process gets notified
of the changed alias, and now what should happen
next, I suppose the ldap database should be updated
but seemingly that doesn't happen, because
when I change the e-mail address of user wim
to wim.bakker at unetix.nl and remove the alias,
slurpd.replog says:
replace: mail
mail: wim.bakker at unetix.nl

but mail to wim at unetix.nl gets nicely delivered
and mail for wim.bakker at unetix.nl still gets bounced
with user unknown error, and I really waited a few hours
to see whether the database gets updated.
What to do about this?

TIA
