Forwarding emails based on LDAP GroupOfNames.

[Mike Manders]

I've read a few people discussing the possibilities of forwarding emails 
based on the groupofnames attribute in an ldap group.  I've read that 
the main way of doing mailing list groups is to add multiple instances 
of 'mailForwardingAddress' to a qmailUser with the mail set to the group 
email address. 

The only problem I have with this is that there are now two email 
addresses to manage in my ldap directory.  This is not necessarily a 
problem, but it will cause a few conflicts every once in a while.  Other 
than those few posts, I haven't found too much information with regards 
to this situation.

I've written a script in perl that will connect to the ldap directory, 
and retrieve all the members dn's on the first search.  And then do a 
search for each member of the group to get their 'mail' attribute.  I 
feel like this is too much searching, but it works.

Here is the main problem.  Since I'm not able to send the email 
addresses back for qmail to forward the message off nicely.  How should 
I look at resending this message?  Most of the qmail-command examples I 
see are simply to either send a new message back to original 
sender(vacation) or to pass a value back to qmail, so that it knows to 
reject/accept the message.

What would be the right way to use the list of email addresses extracted 
from the LDAP database to get qmail to forward the mail off?  Do I have 
to do the sending in perl?  Or is there a way to get qmail to send to 
the new email addresses?

Thanks!
