Hi Ed,

Yes.  It's my understanding that the ldap aliasing in courier 
requires that the attribute values for recipents must contain
an email address (much like the mail attribute).   What I'm looking
for is the ability to use a dn type attribute.  Both the groupofnames
and groupofuniquenames are such classes.  They contain member
and uniquemember attributes.  These attributes are distinguised
name for entries.  Each entry is a member of the group.  I'd like to 
be able to send mail to an address which is a mail attribute on 
a class derived from one of these groups and have the message 
go to all memebers who have a mail attribute.

I'm of the understaindg that Courier can't do what I'm looking
for as is.  Am I mistaken?  I'd love it if I were.

Thanks!


Andy
