Hi everyone hope you can help me i'm striking out on this question all over...

I have Sendmail configured and working perfectly along with openldap 1.22...

No OpenLdap is resolving the address as I type in a name in the To: box and working great!

BUT what my question is... I'm converting a mail system from Microsoft Mail also tied to a Microsoft Exchange server over the WAN over to a Sendmail Server and replacing the MS mail local mail system.
I "Need" to present a Postoffice Address List /or Global Address List similar to MS mail or Exchange to the user when they hit the to: button... Ldap will search for the name but is there a way to auto display the ENTIRE LDAP directory when a person browses it?

Or is there a 3rd party program just for a Global Address List I could use in conjunction with ldap?

Hope you can help me!
Thanks,
Vince

I think that's client dependant,

example, setup for outlook express

Launch Outlook Express. Click on Tools>Accounts>Add Directory Service. For “Internet Directory (LDAP) Server” enter the IP address of the Linux machine running the LDAP server. Select “yes” for check e-mail addresses. Click on Finish.
Next, click on Tools>Accounts>Directory Service and select the directory service (represented by the IP address that you have had entered for LDAP server). Click on Properties>Advanced. For the Search Base, enter the following.

dc=cmil,dc=com

or

o=cybermedia, dc=cmil,dc=cmil

If you want Outlook to search the LDAP directory and find e-mail addresses only for the employees in a particular department (say pcqlabs), enter the following for the search base.

ou=pcqlabs, o=cybermedia, dc=cmil,dc=cmil

Henceforth, whenever you send a mail, you can just try typing in the name of the person. Outlook Express should be able to resolve the e-mail address by contacting the LDAP server. You can also use the menu item Edit>Find>People. In the “Look In” drop-down list, select the directory service (represented by the IP address). Subsequently, you should be able to find the details of any employee using the search.

Yes, I got that part working good and the resolving of the name comes up fine etc...

But what I would like is for it to automatically display ALL names in the address book as soon as you hit TO: and it shows the entire LDAP directory similar to a Microsoft Mail postoffice address book or a exchange Global Address List.

Any thoughts on that?

It would seem that that would be up to the client. Or maybe I'm not aware of what you mean.

Maybe you need to try an LDAP Browser.
