Re: Domain Name Suffix

Hi there again!

I guess you are using Sendmail with LDAP Support?!
If so, where in the sendmail.cf file did you put the
"Kldap ldapx" map ?  This is of special concern to me as in Japan
(which is where I am) a different technique is used(not m4)
to edit sendmail.cf.

Thanks for the extra info on ldaptools which should come in handy
at a later date.  I f you like I can email for you to this mailing list
on how I got mail500 configured in Sendmail once I am sure it is 
running correctly.
