Hi folks.
I've got about 120 users on my network with email being done on a FC5 system
using a combination of exim and dovecot.
Email address -> mailserver user conversion is done through /etc/aliases.
I'm looking at options to provide a corporate email address book that can be
maintained on the mail server and used by the users using Outlook and Outlook
express.
Anyone got any ideas how best to do this, preferrably with pointers on how to
set it up.
What I'm using is a webapp called "contagged" that manipulates an
LDAP-based directory. Being LDAP, it works with most email clients, and
being a webapp, most anyone can use it. It has a public address book
that anyone can access, and can also support private address books for
each user.
I'm eventually going to submit it for inclusion in Fedora Extras, but if
you want to give it a try, I have RPMs here:

It does require that you set up LDAP though, which is non-trivial if
you've never done it before.
