samba - Oct 2009 - winbind + Active Directory + email

Ok, I can't seem to search for the right thing to get what I need. I'm
looking for a solution where if quota or some other mailing system needs to
send an email to an Active Directory user, that it uses the email address
listed in Active Directory for that user. We are connected to Active
Directory using winbind, on one system we are using pam_winbind, on another
we are not. Of course, I'm looking for the simplest option. It seems that
mail is being sent to user_at_hostname right now.

Thanks,

Hi Robert,

I used the ldapsearch command in a preexec script to create a .forward, the
command I used was:
> # ldapsearch -D
"cn=SOMEFAKEUSERR,ou=Service,dc=domain,dc=utah,dc=edu" -b
"ou=CHE_Users,dc=domain,dc=utah,dc=edu" -w PASSWORD -x -LLL
"(sAMAccountName=00112413)" mail | grep mail
> # Output looks like this:
> # mail: FOOBAR at eng.utah.edu
I can send the entire script if you are interested, the above is just what
handles the email.
