Filter proxies?

[Craig Emery <openldap@cemery.org.uk>]

Dear All,

please excuse the ignorance if I'm asking either a FAQ or stupid question.

My employer has an ldap directory and they've /broken/ it

Everyone's email address has no domain!
Everyone's name has commas in them

So:

"Craig Emery" <cemery@domain.com>

comes out:

Emery, Craig <cemery>

Now this causes no end of issues for Thunderbird.

Comma is the recipient delimiter so with the above example an email can
get sent to both "Emery" and "Craig <cemery>"

So the question is this:

are there any proxies that can munge the data retrieved from another
directory and "fix" anything like this?

If not, should I move over to openldap-devel and ask about writing one
(I'm a software engineer)?

TIA

Craig
