Hi all!

I'm trying to install mercury 1.22 in a Netware 4.10 environment using
NDS. Now I can't use the login names as mail addresses because of
their ambiguity across several contexts (which have to be mapped into
one internet domain).
Is there a way to use aliases with mercury (or even better: Can
mercury handle the NDS "Foreign Email Address"-Property)?

Any hints appreciated,

	To my understanding, Novell did not give all users browse rights to
the everything in the NDS database.  Just the name and a few things
like that which you can pick up with an "ndir".  So David Harris (who
writes Pegasus and Mercury) had to go a different route.  I can't say
that I have a definite solution to your problem but have you tried
aliasing the full context name plus the Internet domain?  Eg:
ajsmith.cc.fstaff.onunet@lynx.olivet.edu

	If that doesn't work then you might try the Pegasus listserv which is
also on NNTP at bit.listserv.pmail

	Best of luck.
Andrew

Doesn't mercury have admin rights when running on the server? At least
we could explicitly allow browsing the "Foreign Email Address"
property which is in fact made for this.

In my case I only run into problems because 1) I mustn't have login
names as mail addresses (because in germany, at least at our
university, we have standard addresses like
Thomas.Riehm@verwaltung.uni-muenchen.de), and 2) our contexts are
named from a technical point of view so our users would never know why
the hell they are where they are.
But thank you anyway for the response!
(I thought that problem had occurred more often than it seems).

P.S.: Followup-To is set to bit.listserv.pmail
