RE: mail = mailRoutingAddress

One thought is to use the mail attr as an alias to mailRoutingAddress, but
this is likely to cause problems as you will need to adjust the schema (or
might affect other apps, or it will get changed during schema upgrades).
Most external apps will search on a known defined attr, therefore the only
thing you can do (I assume) is to propagate the attr that the apps require.
In some cases you might find attribs such as RFC822mailbox or other maybe
required.

Subject: mail = mailRoutingAddress


I am using inetLocalMailRecipient from misc.schema to route mail
accoring to the "mailRoutingAddress" attribute. Now I have encountered
an application which expects to find an email address under the "mail"
attribute. Is there some way I can tie "mail" to "mailRoutingAddress",
so that whener the former is requested the latter is returned?
