I am at a site with two NeXT machines, and a plethora of Sun's/....  As you  
might expect, I manually administer my NeXT separately from what our mainstream  
administrator does.

I would like the "Addresses" panel within Mail.app to contain the contents of  
our corporate smtp "aliases" file.  Since we don't run Netinfo for any other  
systems, I have no idea where Mail.app get's its information.  I can enter all  
the names manually, but our organization is large enough that a) this is  
sufficiently time consuming that it isn't worth the effort, and b) the list  
changes in some way virtually daily, and I'd spend forever making manual  
changes.

So I need it done in some automated way.  My NeXT machine can see the corporate  
aliases file (via NFS) but is there an automated way to get the information re:  
user names, groups, etc. in to the place where Addresses in the Mail.app are  
stored?

There is another way to ask this question: if I were an all-NeXT site, where  
would this feature get it's info from?
