It's interesting that in the message from Mark regarding MS Exchanges
ability to handle SMTP addresses, I picked out the following variations
on Mark's e-mail address:--
Mark Bixby [[log in to unmask]] : Appeared in the From: header on
my Outlook '98 message
rfc822Mailbox: [log in to unmask] and mail: [log in to unmask] both
appeared as entries in Mark's LDAP server.
E-mail: [log in to unmask] appeared in Mark's "signature" at the end of his
message.
Hmmmmmm....

Neil

Huh? LDAP is perfectly willing to return SMTP addresses, as long as
your
directory schema includes an SMTP address attribute.
For example, here's what my entry looks like in our MS Exchange 5.5 LDAP
server:
dn: cn=MBixby,cn=Recipients,ou=DISTRICT,o=Coast Community College
District
objectClass: organizationalPerson
objectClass: person
objectClass: Top
rdn: MBixby
cn: Bixby, Mark
rfc822Mailbox: [log in to unmask]
mail: [log in to unmask]
textEncodedORaddress: c=US;a= ;p=Coast Community
;o=DISTRICT;s=Bixby;g=Mark;
givenName: Mark
uid: MBixby
MAPI-Recipient: TRUE
sn: Bixby

There are non-graphical LDAP clients available. My data above was
extracted
using the Unix character mode ldapsearch client that comes with Netscape
Directory Server.
LDAP is simply client-server TCP/IP Berkeley sockets. It shouldn't be
too
hard to port LDAP to the HP3000.
For public LDAP source code, see:
http://www.openldap.org/
http://www.mozilla.org/directory/
For MPE porting tips, see:

Porting isn't as hard as you may think. If you have a burning desire
for
LDAP/iX and rudimentary C knowledge, give it a try. You may be
surprised.
