Yes, exchange2aliases (ldap2aliases is for IMail MXs fronting IMail or other OpenLDAP mailbox servers) is designed for situations in which the mailbox server(s) are owned by, or at least open to control by, the MX provider. Though ORF speaks AD LDAP natively, it too is not built out-of-the-box to support a wide range of remote mailbox servers with real-time validation and/or live recipient list updates (updates that don't require that the ORF service be restarted). As a result, most end up using ORF's plain-text recipient lists, which unlike LDAP does require a quick service restart when the list is updated. If you have more than one ORF server, rolling restarts will do you fine, but with a single server and high load, it can require more hoops to be jumped through to ensure that nothing aberrant (leakage, orphans) happens while the service restarts. IME, the best solution with ORF is to import the remote recipient lists into a dedicated AD/ADAM LDAP server (which happens live) and point ORF to that server for recipient validation (which also happens live). This gives you a real-time route for consolidating the recipient lists of multiple remote mail servers, but it requires real LDAP knowledge to set up. --Sandy ------------------------------------ Sanford Whiteman, Chief Technologist Broadleaf Systems, a division of Cypress Integrated Systems, Inc. e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] SpamAssassin plugs into Declude! http://www.imprimia.com/products/software/freeutils/SPAMC32/download/release/ Defuse Dictionary Attacks: Turn Exchange or IMail mailboxes into IMail Aliases! http://www.imprimia.com/products/software/freeutils/exchange2aliases/download/release/ http://www.imprimia.com/products/software/freeutils/ldap2aliases/download/release/ --- This E-mail came from the Declude.JunkMail mailing list.
