>Description:

MailScanner should connect anonymously as described in the config file:

>From MailScanner.conf:
  # If you are using an LDAP server to read the configuration, these
  # are the details required for the LDAP connection. The connection
  # is anonymous.
  LDAP Server = somehost.pilgerer.de
  LDAP Base   = o=pilgerer,c=de
  LDAP Site   = PilgererMTA

When MailSanner is started the following error occurs:

  unauthenticated bind (DN with no password) disallowed at /usr/local/lib/MailScanner/MailScanner/Config.pm line 668

Well, this is because MailScanner binds to the "LDAP Base":

  $binding = $connection->bind($ldapbase, anonymous=>1);

which doesn't make much sense. So a simple anonymous bind should be used:

  $binding = $connection->bind();

>How-To-Repeat:

Configure MailScanner for use with LDAP and start it.
