(Nb I'm almost completely ignorant of dovecot/IMAP.) Actually, I found it was only moderately painful to create kaddressbook distribution lists from an LDAP address book. Basically, I listed all the entries in the book in kaddressbook. This lists the "o" attribute, which I use for distinguishing entries, and one can go through the list marking entries with Shift-Left Button, and then add all the marked entries to a specified distribution list. I know I could - probably should - have used something like mailman. But I'm rather taken with the idea of keeping all information in an LDAP directory on one machine, which can be accessed over the web. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
