Various people have implemented various approaches for LDAP-based
Routing of SMTP Messages. At least three are commonly known:
 
  1. UMich's approach (implemented in the "mail500" mailer)
  2. Netscape's approach (implemented in the Netscape MTA)
  3. Stanford's approach (implemented in Sendmail 8.8.X)
 
There are internet drafts available describing the latter two
approaches..

  (expired, but an update is planned)

We propose to discuss the merits of the various approaches and
determine whether there is interest in standardizing an approach to
LDAP-based Routing of SMTP Messages.  The discussion will be held on...

discussion.
