Joining this list...

[tr...@thinkvirtual.com]

Just thought i'd let someone know, but when you reply with the big long request email:

To confirm that you would like 

  travis@thinkvirtual.com 

added to the james-user mailing list, please send 
an empty reply to this address: 

  james-user-sc.989371958.cdiddocfcokmpoipcojp-travis=thinkvirtual.com@jakarta.apache.org 

Usually, this happens when you just hit the "reply" button. 
If this does not work, simply copy the address and paste it into 
the "To:" field of a new message. 

It doesn't subscribe you.  I tried several times and then tried the other way:

Some mail programs are broken and cannot handle long addresses. If you 
cannot reply to this request, instead send a message to 
<ja...@jakarta.apache.org> and put the 
entire address listed above into the "Subject:" line. 

And I'm pretty sure it's not to do with the long address thing, because I've joined other lists before that have similar things.

Request help setting up LDAP

[sbelt <sb...@velos.com>]

I confess that I am new to LDAP, so I hope my questions here are not too
irk'ing.

I have setup an OpenLDAP server specifically for playing with James. My root
is dc=faq, dc=velosmed, dc=com. I have created an organizationalUnit
ou=employees off of the root dn. I would like to put all my James accounts
in this node.

To get started, I have created a few organizationalPerson objects with sn,
cn, and x121Address attributes (the last of which stores the email address).
I don't know if I can use these accounts, but its just something I tried.

Now, as I said, this server is just for James, so I am willing to recreate
the structure if needed: the onsite documentation, however, is not clear to
me. For example, am I suppose to create a node called  LocalUsers, or will
James create it for me using the James.conf settings? If I must create it
myself, what objectclass will let me specify "cn" and "member" attributes?
assuming my structure above, are all the james accounts simply maintained as
attributes? Because LDAP is suppose to be shared by different systems, how
do I add aditional attributes for user accounts?

Sorry for such elementary questions. I want to learn LDAP, and because I had
such good luck with James, I thought I would use it as my testbed.

Thanks in advance for any help!

Steve B.

PS - I currently get the following error when James loads
