Postfix Virtual Hosting With LDAP Backend With Dovecot As IMAP/POP3 Server On Ubuntu Hardy Heron 8.04 TLS

I've been running with a MySQL backend for virtual hosting for some time, but when I discovered Phamm and the added FTP feature (amongst others) I decided to switch to LDAP as backend for Postfix with virtual hosting. In view of the fact that the installation and configuration guide of
Phamm is lacking some basic information it took me quite some time
(including crying, swearing, getting depressed, ...) to put it all
together and get it working. Long live google
to find hints or explanations for problems and configuration issues.
Piecing it all together wasn't simple so I would like to share how I
configured it and got it all working toghether (as I like), but I think
that it will benefit other users as well.
