Here's from another person with the same mindset - at least if (when)
Exchange goes out to lunch, it'll queue on my servers.

I've downloaded this (getadsmtp.pl) and have got it running against our AD
servers (AD/Exchange 2003).  It seems to work as designed and gets all the
possible addresses I expect to see.

But I also get entries like:

1d9116 at example.com OK
_1d9116 at example.com OK
(lots of these...)

and
OfflineAddressBook-/o=MYDOMAIN/cn=addrlists/cn=oabs/cn=DefaultOf at example.com
OK

and
SystemMailbox{24E423AC-A08C-45E8-A40A-7BC7F31278C3}@example.com OK

I'm guessing these may be from disabled users, or maybe other cruft in AD
I'm not familiar with.  I'll run it by my AD admins tomorrow, but I don't
expect them to know much better on these.   Might it be some encoding
problem?

Incidentally, I'm probably going to tweak the Perl script to produce
Sendmail access format as well, since we primarily use that.

Thanks,
