Bug 1686721

It's dynamically loaded as a plugin, so ldd postfix will not show the library. It requires postfix-ldap package, which doesn't seem to be included in RHEL-8.

What is the desired target release? Is 8.1 fine or is this a blocker for 8.0 GA?

Please check the ldd output of /lib/libexec/postfix/smtpd

The stock "postfix" binary does not link to the ldap library, but the smtpd binary does.

The spec file for rhel8 postfix also include ldap support in the stock build.

- remove hard requirement on openldap, library dependencies take care of it
- redirect %%postun to /dev/null
- don't remove the postfix user and group when the package is removed
