Hello!  We are looking for a way to provide mail directory services for a
private wide-area network, in such a way that a user would be able to type in
a name, and get back the person's mail address.  In addition, or alternately,
to be able to send to an ambiguous address, and have it delivered, or to get
back a message with the correct address.

In the ideal world, there would be a Macintosh and/or PC interface for use
with POP or IMAP.

I saw some discussion over such systems in news a while back, but discovered
(to my horror :-) that I misplaced the messages.

Thanks in advance,

Matthew Lewis
