Ok, our mailserver (dovecot) checks ldap to verify that a particular
mailaddress exists, and to what mailbox it should be delivered. Plus
dovecot creates the mailbox, if it does not yet exist. Meaning mail
delivery works immediately after we add the user to ldap.
You are right about the homedirectory, but [here at least] we don't need
a homedirectory to exist before the user actually logs on.
