O.k. but not the Lachmann-Laser draft I have. That only covers
formatting of mail objectClasses.

And IMHO choosing what mail server to use is like buttering pork fat to
make it more fatty (Norwegian expression: "sm�r p� flesk"). Waste of
time and energy.

Openldap.org just uses it.

That's really the reason I replied to this one - I had to laugh. My
experience is exactly the same - nasty taste in the mouth for ever and
ever. However, think of NIS as being nsswitch.conf, in which you can ban
NIS for ever. It's only a name, like the bogey man.

Hadn't thought of that. I just did a test, sent to unqualified
localmailgroup out of Evo 1.2.1 and read the headers of what I received:

Maybe if it had been sent seriously, the headers would have been
different. 

So I sent it to a member at an Internet address:

It doesn't show the individual addresses, so you should be able to
forget that one. Or perhaps that's MTA dependant? Everybody should use
Exim?
