There is a perl script, called "mutt_ldap_query.pl", which you can get from contrib directory on the Mutt FTP site. You can customise that, and add a dn/password etc. into the script directly, and add set query_command = "mutt_ldap_query.pl '%s'" to your muttrc. In here, I have it set as set query_command = "mutt_ldap_query.pl '%s' -W -d 'login=jplooney,ou=people... ' " so that I can just pass the "connect as" DN as args to the script, and it'll ask me for a password before logging in to the ldap server (it just spawns off ldap_search, and formats the output in a specific way). On some of the other points; Although we could lock the database on IPs (it'll be for a public free service, though the primary use would be so users could do LDAP searches from their webmail client. Now that I know that spammers are likely to harvest mail address from an LDAP server, I think I'll make it a closed system. Kate
