"mailRoutingAddress" does not support substring match
(it is not meant as a search attribute, but only as 
a value to return); note that also "mailLocalAddress"
requires exact (case-insensitive) match. Use the "mail"
attribute if you need substring match, or define your 
own mail routing attribute.

See $ETCDIR/schema/misc.schema for hints.
