Well this is where we both need help from someone else on this list.  I
am not familiar really with LDAP as a protocol / database as it is but
here is what I know:

1) I can use LDP form the Win2K support tools to bind to the Imail
service and 'go a-querying'.
2) As long as I set the base dn in the search popup to something like
o=domain.tld, I can then set the 'filter' line to an email address in
that domain to search for and it will find it ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
3) If I do not specify the basedn, it will not find ANY results.
 
That said, you get the same type of results from AD queries.  You do a
base search in AD and it tells you what the default naming context is,
you put that in the basedn line and you can they query for your
addresses ([EMAIL PROTECTED] or proxyaddresses=SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]).
It'll work every time.  The thing they (barracuda) seem to dancing
around is that in an AD forest, everything for the most part has one
domain to deal with and its subdomains.  This is imho the basic flaw in
their thinking.  If you have more than one base domain to search
through, I need to be able to specify by base dn as opposed to 1) them
not using it and knowing how to get the query to run w/o it or 2) them
reading the defaultnamingcontext property form the LDAP db.

Anyone else feel like chiming in on this?  (Especially about how queries
are to be made, proper order, etc.)
