My understand is that there are four mail related attributes (more or
less).
mail = Your "official" e-mail address. What people should find when they
look you up. What your outbound e-mail headers should displays as From:
and Reply-To:
mailLocalAddress = Multivalued, the mail addresses your recieve mail at.
mailHost = Your internal mail server where your box lives. Useful in
organizations that host most than one mail server. Your distribution of
accounts, etc...
mailRoutingAddress = What the inbound mail address should be rewritten to
in order to ensure proper delivery.
My mail attributes look something like -
dn: cn=Adam Williams,ou=People,o=Morrison Industries, c=US
mail: adam@morrison-ind.com
mailLocalAddress: adam@morrison-ind.com
mailLocalAddress: adam@morrison.iserv.net
mailLocalAddress: adam@cisco-inc.com
mailLocalAddress: adam@mor-value.com
mailLocalAddress: abuse@morrison-ind.com
mailLocalAddress: adam@gearheadcareers.com
mailLocalAddress: abuse@mor-value.com
mailLocalAddress: abuse@cisco-inc.com
mailLocalAddress: abuse@morrison.iserv.net
mailLocalAddress: abuse@gearheadcareers.com
mailLocalAddress: adam
mailRoutingAddress: adam@sardine
mailHost: sardine
