It's multivalued in *a* standard schema. SOGo also has to work with single-valued ActiveDirectory setups, which are anything but rare. (UCS did do the same thing too even back when they were using Kolab/OpenLDAP, FYI. And probably others.) So *if* we get multi-value support in SOGo/Thunderbird (good luck getting anything done in Thunderbird…), we'd need to be able to configure a secondary, multi-valued email attribute. Make it default to `mail` so it'll work with OpenLDAP if you want, but that'd allow compatibility with AD, too. >> and another attribute for the alias (alias, proxyaddress) a name >> something like that >> in your transport configuration in postfix you have to make your LDAP >> filter to search for the mail >> in mail attribute or to alias attribute.

Why, yes, if you modify the LDAP scheme, you'll have to make sure your programs understand the scheme. What surprising news. -- Mit freundlichen Grüßen, / Best Regards, Sven Schwedas Systemadministrator TAO Beratungs- und Management GmbH | Lendplatz 45 | A - 8020 Graz Mail/XMPP: [email protected] | +43 (0)680 301 7167 http://software.tao.at
