Add an explicit dc: attribute to your record. Just the "dc" appear in your
"dn" is not enough, you also need to list it as an explicit attribute.

But this has nothing to do with E-mail. I couldn't find a Usenet newsfroup
for LDAP-related issues. You could try comp.misc, but it doesn't look
promising. None of the openldap mailing list appear to be suitable. Looks
like you're a bit out of luck.

attribute" ?

Even though you have:

dn: dc=foo,whatever=bar


You also need to explicitly specify

dc: foo

In your LDAP entry.

LDAP doesn't care what you're storing. E-mail addresses, or your book
catalog. I somewhat sympathize -- OpenLDAP is definitely very hostile as to
giving any kind of a useful feedback on errors.
