as the name mailAlternateAddress suggests, it is used for _addidtional_
alternate adresses, other than 'mail'.

ie: 

mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
mailAlternateAddress: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
mailAlternateAddress: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

so, joe will receive mails sent to any of these adresses to his
'mailMessageStore', provided that the domains are local ;-)


btw, please read 'life with qmail-ldap', a quite neat howto.
