Setting primary_mail to (FirstInitial)(surname) ?

[Paul Fine]

Thanks Aleksander. I have tried several efforts with  the policy_uid, it
definitely doesn't take the same syntax as the default secondary_mail and I
tried simplifying to no avail. Any suggestion would be appreciated!

Regards

This is not possible with primary_mail (not without code changes), but you
could try to keep "primary_mail = %(uid)s@%(domain)s" and define policy_uid.
Policy_uid setting supports the same syntax as secondary_mail or similar
(there are some differences).

I don't know why primary_mail config is not compatible with secondary_mail.
I suppose we would accept a patch for this.

Globals are in [kolab] section, in domain sections you can overwrite globals
for specified domains.
