That said, popping "LDAP mailing list" into Google gave several examples for various mailers, and one of them might work for you.
...and it just occurred to me that you may be asking for a basic contact list/address book, and not mailing lists. If a contact list is what you''re looking for, log into the FDS admin utility, create some users, and you''ve got yourself a contact list. You''ll just need to configure your client programs to query the LDAP server and chances are it''ll just work.

That''s the part that''s got me stumped. For instance... My account is uid=fontenwp,ou=People,dc=fontenotshome,dc=org and the email address is there. When I configure Evolution I can''t see my account.

I got it, thanks for all the help. It was a case of the client not acting quite the way I expected it to.
