Hi Michael,
You're working too hard. Send a message to support @ Alligate.com and put "ATTN: Brian" in the subject. We'll figure out something. I usually don't see the license renewal things unless it is someone I deal with regularly, which includes a lot of members of this list. Believe it or not we get a fair number of people that say they haven't used the product yet and really just don't want to pay for it. Someone has to go back and do research in old update logs to try and find evidence or lack thereof, it and it can take half a day. It probably would have been a good idea to let us know if there were going to be deployment delays because we just make a note in the database and it saves everyone a lot of frustration. In your case, it sounds like we never heard anything until after the anniversary and the renewal reminder went out. Alligate is going to help you with a lot of this, and this is exactly what it is for.

I can dig up my old script and post it, too. Mine is pretty primitive: spew and parse. Does it reach out to LDAP from the internet side of things, through a properly configured firewall, I imagine? Mine was a local script that uploaded. I like your idea better, if I am reading it right. With your idea, I provide minimum requirements instead of installation steps.

It does have a few input parameters where you configure the LDAP path to the mail domain (because many Exchange customers have different schemes), the LDAP user/pwd, and which alias domain names to generate. I uses that list in a SQL query that my ORF gateway uses to block invalid email address and outright terminate connections that have too many invalid email addresses. If you have any use for it, I'll be happy to let you have it. Instead of outputting database rows, you could certainly expand the script to output a flat file instead or add "alias" items to the IMAIL registry, etc. Best Regards, Andy From: supp...@declude.com [mailto:supp...@declude.com] On Behalf Of Michael Cummins Sent: Wednesday, May 12, 2010 2:14 PM To: declude.junkmail@declude.com Subject: RE: [Declude.JunkMail] Fine tuning Declude I wrote a batch file once on a number of the exchange servers that used VBS and LDAP to generate a list of valid exchange recipients and then FTP them to the server where a CF script parsed it clean. I didn't quite know what to do with them when they got there though (I was originally going to use them in Alligate, but never got that up and going) and I don't have the full "granular" cooperation of all the Exchange network peeps, only most of them, so it was difficult to implement a one-size-fits-all policy regardless. I'll put my thinking cap on. Another one of the problems is that most all of my clients don't want to disable NDRs with whatever solution I come up with, which makes it fairly impossible to avoid backscatter. It goes in me one way, and out another :p Very Respectfully, Michael Cummins --- This E-mail came from the Declude.JunkMail mailing list.
