Thanks for everyone's suggestions I never expected so many. Wonderful :->

Philipp, This looks like an interesting and also flexible way of doing the
lists, kind of similar to (dare I say) MS Exchange which at the moment is my
main reference source and also what I am trying to (as far as features go) base
my server on.

Can exim handle LDAP objects being returned at results and retrieve the
necessary email address/mailbox attribute or would your Filter attribute purely
be used as part of another LDAP query which would then retrive the necessary
information?

Thank again

Lee
