group email addresses

[Brendan Kearney <bpk678@gmail.com>]

i have done some reading, and it seems that no official standard exists 
for group email addresses.  to that end, i am looking to enlighten 
myself about what is done to provide mail addresses for groupOfNames 
groups.  i would imagine there is some overlap between what many or most 
folks do and that would be a good starting point for me.  i figure its 
something like "you have 7 steps to perform, and everyone does step 
1,2,3 and 5 the same way.  the rest, you are on your own for."

i want to setup mailboxes for these groups, for example:

cn=ldapAdmins,ou=domainGroups,ou=Groups,dc=bpk2,dc=com
cn=ldapEngineers,ou=domainGroups,ou=Groups,dc=bpk2,dc=com

these are groupOfNames structural groups, with top and posixGroup 
classes as aux.  where do most folks begin, when setting up group 
mailboxes?  i found a schema that is not official and has been extended 
with the same names but different numerical OIDs.  I am not sure if this 
is the right path to follow, or if something more "standards focused" is 
appropriate.  any help is appreciated.

thanks,

brendan
