Why not make your LDAP query lookup against the email address and any alias fields in the LDAP? That is, fix the LDAP to have the data the mail server can work with, rather than make the mail server guess what a mailbox should be. Probably possible to script something to run around the houses playing lookup guessing games but seems to be making lots of work that is hard. -- ----------------------------------------------------------- C Werclick .Lot Technical incompetent Loyal Order Of The Teapot.
