A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
Title : LDAP Schema Definitions for Intranet
Mail Routing - The mailRecipient Object Class
Author(s) : H. Lachman
Filename : draft-lachman-ldap-mail-routing-03.txt
Pages : 19
Date : 12-Oct-98
Directory services based on the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol
(LDAP) [1] and X.500 [2] provide a general-purpose means to store
information about users and other network entities. One of the many
possible uses of a directory service is to store information about
users' email accounts, such as their email addresses, and how
messages addressed to them should be routed. In the interest of
interoperability, it is desirable to have a common schema for such
email-related information.
This document defines an object class called 'mailRecipient' to
support SMTP [3] message transfer agents (MTAs) in routing RFC 822-
based email messages [4] within an organization. The intent is to
suggest a model for MTA interoperability via the directory, to
provide information about a solution that has been implemented and
deployed, and to stimulate discussion about whether and how to
standardize the functionality in question.

Send a message to: mailserv@ietf.org. In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-lachman-ldap-mail-routing-03.txt".
NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
