There seems to be conflicting information on the internet as to whether this is actually possible or not. Can anyone who has successfully done this please advise on the best way to go about doing it?

i love those legal prefixes which are essentially saying "don't read me" :-) and IANAL but i really wonder if such a header would make any difference if there were any legal action concerning sent mail? is there any existing jurisdiction? cheers, peter.

I've heard of people having success using this: http://www.zope.org/Members/jens/LDAPUserFolder ...and persuading AD to speak LDAP. Failing that, you could always use this: http://www.zope.org/Members/NIP/SimpleUserFolder ...and write the method necessary to get your user details from AD. I see you're in the UK, if there's anything NIP can help with, please get in touch off list. cheers, Chris PS: You may wish to loose the excessive header and footer on your emails. Not only does it make them pretty hard to read, a lot of people on this list also find them offensive.
