I wrote a Perl script that is called from smb.conf to process the spool
file to PDF, then deliver the result via email. It gets the Samba username
then either sends the PDF attachment to that local user account
(user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx) or uses the username to get the email address
from an LDAP server. Or the script can add a default domain name to the
username if that results in a valid address for your users.

Feedback is appreciated. Code for improvements would be even more
appreciated.  :-)
