the export from imail is easy. I think the scripting on the postfix side = could be done but you're right that you'd have to manage the two lists. If = netscape can export users, aliases, and lists then you should be good from = that end.
The imailusersextract website http://www.smartbusiness.net/imail/ says it = does work for ODBC databases so would probably work for you. I use the = Imail database so you'd have to check for sure. you could then just create the script that would append both lists to a = map file and postmap it which in essence would give you the most updated = list of users that postfix would know at that time. The next run would = update if there has been a transfer from either mail site. I would think it would be much easier to script the solution than try to = do it with ldap. With the ldap solution you may have to chec with the = required server for each message where the script solution aleady has the = info. I have my scripts on the imail and postfix box run every 10 minutes. = Causes no hit on either server. We have about 1800 accounts is all. I could send you my postfix for mapping the file all you'd have to do is = combine the lists from both servers... bob On Friday, March 26, 2004 8:21 AM, Mitch Planck <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >I am trying to verify users on both boxes.
