You probably want a general LDAP or openldap mailing list for this but... I'm not subscribed to one either :-). First take a peek at this from the openldap-software list http://www.openldap.org/lists/openldap-software/200203/msg00646.html If you're caring from an MTA perspective... Postfix's LDAP maps suggest a 'maildrop' attribute for calculating actual delivery. And now a suggestion so you can spend an afternoon seeing what it breaks... Well, atleast in my LDAP schemas the mail attribute has syntax 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.15 And looking at 6.10 of RFC2252 http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2252 You can put any unicode string there you want to such as Christoph Holtermann Obsolete <c.holterm...@foo.bar> -- Chris Dukes "In cynicism she's about 35" -- Terry Pratchett's "Hog Father" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Verizon Developer Community Take advantage of Verizon's best-in-class app development support A streamlined, 14 day to market process makes app distribution fast and easy Join now and get one step closer to millions of Verizon customers http://p.sf.net/sfu/verizon-dev2dev _______________________________________________ Python-LDAP-dev mailing list Python-LDAP-dev@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/python-ldap-dev
