[Assp-user] LDAP search

[Robinson - A. C. <aca...@ro...>]

Version  <http://www.magicvillage.de/~Fritz_Borgstedt/assp/CurrentASSPV1>
1.5.1.6(1.0.2) and IMail 11.

 

ASSP on our server listens for two email domains, separated in Active
Directory as two sibling OUs.  ASSP uses LDAP to validate recipients.  IMail
has a virtual host for each OU.

 

Our mailbox and username standard is "first initial + left(last name,7)",
i.e., a max of eight characters.  For longer names, we create an alias in
IMail and in ASSP's LocalAddresses_Flat file.

 

Earlier today, a message to a mailbox (eight character length) was rejected
by ASSP, though a message to the user's alias (nine character length) was
accepted.  My account is in the first OU, the user's in the second.

 

After I changed the username in the 'email address' field in the LDAP
account from nine characters to eight characters, ASSP accepted messages to
the mailbox.

 

The confusion for me is that the username in my 'email address' field has
nine characters "acampbell", yet ASSP accepts messages for my mailbox
"acampbel".  My account is in one OU and the user's in the other OU.

 

LDAPFilter is
"(|(userPrincipalName=EMAILADDRESS)(mail=EMAILADDRESS)(otherMailbox=*EMAILAD
DRESS)(proxyaddresses=smtp:EMAILADDRESS))".

 

LDAPRoot is set to the parent OU of the two OUs.

 

Can someone explain this weirdness to me?
