I've got a vbscript that will retrieve all email addresses from my
Active Directory domain and create a bash script that will create
matching accounts using vpopmail tools on a toaster and configure
individual .qmail files to ensure forwarding to my Exchange server. The
accounts are all created with a generic password. Nobody logs in to
them. Nobody but our IT staff knows they exist.
I've got no idea how to retrieve passwords in AD so they could be put
into the toaster.
Can vpopmail work with LDAP? Maybe the toaster could be configured to
talk to AD directly?
