I will have to give that a try I suppose. It is a shame that there is not a "native" way of accomplishing the creation of a distribution list like the MS Outlook address book affords. Actually, may MUAs such as claws-mail have this feature embedded into their code. However, that requires me to have multiple address books and is not what I am looking for.
You may want to take a look at this:
http://www.openldap.org/lists/openldap-technical/201105/msg00033.html
In this way you can create an alias (which may be a distribution list) by optionally taking advantage of the dynamic list feature of openldap.
For example, you simply add a particular identifier (for each distribution list) to an attribute of the affected entries and then your distribution lists are built automatically based on a query string.
See examples above.
More elegant and much more flexible. You administer everything from within OpenLDAP.
Good luck, Nick
