Andreas, Nice idea, but my Notes servers are firewalled off from my Exim server. I don't have LDAP access to Domino. We are planning to push a flat file extract from the NAB out to Exim for the look-ups.

Add this to your router. local_parts=\ ldap; ldap:://dominoserver/?mail?\ sub?(&\ (|\ (objectClass=inetOrgPerson)\ (objectClass=dominoServerMailInDatabase)\ )\ (|\ (uid=$local_part)(cn=$local_part)([EMAIL PROTECTED])([EMAIL PROTECTED])\ )\ ) This should take care of aliases as well as mailin databases. Make sure you replace yourdomain.com with your actual mail domain. -- Andreas -- ## List details at http://www.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://www.exim.org/eximwiki/ -- ## List details at http://www.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://www.exim.org/eximwiki/
