Another question,
When making a email system with dbmail with let’s say 40 users. After
setting up a IMAP client these users are not in my address book yet.
You all know that Exchange/Groupwise/LotusNotes have the users in their
address books, so sending an email to one of the 40 internal users is easy.
i have played with ldap address books before, and i remember that
outlook express has a way to enable an ldap address book and thunderbird
also has ldaop lookup possibilitys.
As setting up a openldap system is a rather big thing for a small
address book, i had the idea to make a tiny ldap server. What about this
idea?
I think you should have gone to bed earlier :-)
With a dbmail-ldapaddr is would be possible to have these users directly
available.
Dbmail has ldap capabilities in SVN-trunk. But those are for authentication and
email aliases only. Dbmail is about email storage and retrieval. Not about
providing user databases aka directories.
Openldap is not *that* big and pretty easy to manage. Why reinvent the wheel?
If you install dbmail2.1 (to be released real soon now) with ldap capabilities,
you can store all your dbmail users in openldap.
