Hi,

If you are executing perdition on the command line,
then you need to either use quotes or escape sequences
as the ldap query string contains characters that
have special meaning in the shell and I think
that is why you are seeing this problem.

Could you try the following?

/usr/sbin/perdition.pop3 -m 'ldap://ldap.abc.com:389/dc=.?uid,mailHost?sub?(mail=%45s)?!BINDNAME=cn=xxx%2cdc=.,X-BINDPW=yyy'

Dear all perdition users and experts,

I used to have perdition-1.17 work for my mail servers to query for LDAP 
for mailHost for POP3 and IMAP proxy and normally I will just add a flag 
in /etc/sysconfig/perdition for POP3 and IMAP and everything will just 
working fine. Today, I've just setup another mail server (to load 
balance the mail scanning process and POP/IMAP login) and install with 
perdition-1.18 (tried also with perdition-1.18rc1), the configuration is 
the same with my old perdition but I've problem to start the service the 
error message below. If I remove the (mail=%45s), the service will just 
start perfect but off course I can't login because ldap will not return 
anything without the filter. Is there any issue with the new perdition 
for LDAP query? Looking forward your kind assistance in this matter.

Starting perdition services (POP3): /bin/bash: -c: line 0: syntax error 
near unexpected token `('
/bin/bash: -c: line 0: `ulimit -S -c 0 >/dev/null 2>&1 ; 
/usr/sbin/perdition.pop3 -m 
ldap://ldap.abc.com:389/dc=.?uid,mailHost?sub?(mail=%45s)?!BINDNAME=cn=xxx%2cdc=.,X-BINDPW=yyy'

Regards
