A request on the Exim mailing list tickled my interest: the poster wanted to have Exim expand a posixGroup to a list of the member's e-mail addresses.
As a reminder, an RFC 2307 posixGroup has a multi-valued LDAP attribute type called memberUid which is the user identifier (uid) of the member. A sample groups looks like [...]
A user of one of our small and distant mail servers reported "missing e-mails" this morning. It turns out they weren't missing (of course), but I'd had them misplaced.
When we set up the mini mail servers, I'd taken most of Exim's configuration from the original IMAP design, and in that, I had set [...]

how to configure Exim to use a smarthost if configured in LDAP. There wasn't anything really revolutionary about that, but I found it quite nifty. So much, that I expanded that a bit for my Exim and LDAP presentation recently, and [...]
Do you use Mac OS X' Address Book and want to share the contact data with other (non-Mac) machines on your network? Do you have an odd MS-Outlook (Express), Thunderbird, etc. that you'd like to feed with contacts? If so, this is for you.
There are all sorts of workarounds for the above (e.g. use Mac [...]
This is an example of what makes some people very decent:
Thank you Paul; it was a pleasure to be repeated.
