Nothing unusual at all about canonical mapping, the only anomaly I'm making a fuss about is the underlying data model. It is OK to turn secondary addresses into primary, it is generally risky to try to turn target (delivery) addresses back into original addresses, since the mapping is often not one-to-one (and the need to introduce many-to-one may arise later).
Thanks, I'll think this over more as I try to wrap my head around this. When I stray into this issue I'll make sure to reread your much appreciated advice. And probably a few more RFCs.
Initially I thought adding LDAP was a fun idea. Given the archaic nature and complexity of this beast I'm not so sure anymore. I'm beginning to understand why I've heard sysadmins say that Microsoft has done a nice job with AD of hiding the complexity and making it work. But this is getting OT so I'll leave it at that.
Thanks again for your advice. Regards, Patrick
