I believe that there are two ways to get into the address book. Exchange 5.5 has a 'GAL', the Global Address List with a proprietary protocol, but with an optional LDAP access mode. In Exchange 2000, I believe that the LDAP access is default via Active Directory.
As eluded to by a post a few (months?) ago, Exchange exports all of its data via IMAP. If this is the case, we should see if there's a particular message format that contains addresses that we can emulate. If the only route in LDAP, then it's a more complex matter of getting together a schema that does what Outlook expects. The Samba HEAD branch (version 3 alpha) has a lot of Active Directory schemas for OpenLDAP. I do doubt that they have the Exchange schema changes, though... I think they're published in an MSDN document.
