Hi Dan,
Ok. I like solution number 1. It addresses all of my concerns.

Two suggestions:
1. Using the existing directory, you can add people to the LDAP directory
by simply adding a user account through the server manager with the
following characteristics:
- On the Create User Account screen, under "Email Delivery", choose
"Forward to address below"
- Enter their address in the space provided.
- Create user account but do NOT set the password
With a valid password set, the user account has no access to the
server. However, email to that user *will* still be delivered
(to the external address) and the account will appear in the
directory.
2. Daniel Tan has contributed a HOWTO about creating a global address
book. I have not used it, but it may be something you want to check out:

I guess the third option would be to figure out the OpenLDAP commands
necessary to add information to the LDAP directory included with your
e-smith server. More info at http://www.openldap.org/
Regards,
Dan
