RE: How to share adressbooks for LAN
Hi, where is the Qmail LDAP server patch? Please send me the URL.

Yes, I am... it works really well, except that Outlook Express: (a) Doesn't complete the name if you do a "check names". In other words, if you type in "John S" and hit ctrl-k to check the name, and the LDAP server only returns one possible match, Outlook underlines it without completing the name. (b) Always takes email addresses from the windows address book over the LDAP server. Meaning if you type in John S and there's a John Smith in the address book and three John Sink's on the LDAP server, Outlook will just fill it in as John Smith. A bit annoying, and is basically the reason I want to remove the windows address book and provide a way for everyone to add their contact to the LDAP server.

LDAP directories is one way. The plus is that many clients grok LDAP. The minus is that figuring out how to get the two systems working together is half black magic. ObQmail: is anyone using Qmail LDAP patches also using that LDAP server for address books for clients? -- gowen -- Greg Owen -- [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: How to share adressbooks for LAN
Although it may not be completely related I think it wouldn't kill anyone to watch a thread like this go by. I would be particularly interested in seeing some comments about this. My 2 cents.
