You include "mhs-user" as an objectClass of the entry, and use the
"mhs-or-addresses" attribute to store addresses. Unfortunately, this
method is still not perfect -- there is no linkage between multiple
O/R addresses and the values in the "mhs-deliverable-content-length"
and "mhs-deliverable-content-types" attributes. That is, there is
no way to indicate that your O/R Address A can accept G3Fax and IA5
messages of any length, but your O/R Address B can only accept IA5
messages of length 80 (ASCII pagers anyone?).
