Re: Re(2): [IMail Forum] imail issue

m$ doctrine is that AD is LDAP enabled, my original question obscurely stated by a desire to entertain was:   who needs ldap anyway....   i just don't have your gift of putting it succinctly.  now, d3 is checking for me, he's with the band, see? but not officially, he just babysits and makes sure that the salesmen also provide us good bits here.   i expect to raise this issue with our web guy and router guy. i don't really speak to much router or web, my limited talent and experience relegate me to the lowly role of board and drive swapper and all around server geek. so there! a left handed concurrence sir, never let it be said that i said "Me too" in a mere 2 words!! i have a reputation to protect.   signed, paddy mcblarney low priest of quantum verbosity thanks for all the fiche- d.adams revised ----- Original Message ----- From: Imail To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, June 06, 2001 05:27 PM Subject: Re: Re(2): [IMail Forum] imail issue I don't even enable the service.  No need.

Rants, war stories, flames and links appreciated. As Self Appointed List Troll (ol s.a.l.t.) i say that if empty hands are a devils workshop... what's an empty mind? his kitchen!  someone learn me ova heah, hah?     Help other Ipswitch users as they help you.
