Albeit not the normal use for this, you want a user folder that can provide
access to the logins on your Exchange/NT setup; the user folder would need
to be able to list all users, not just authenticate them; you would then
have your application iterate over the list of all logins, and write some
HTML form values or something...

I've never done this, but I'm pretty sure this is the easiest approach.  I
would start investigating user folders, and I would suggest that there are
likely some other folks on this list that may have some more detailed and
specific insight on this than I do; hopefully they can provide some ideas.

Hi,

I believe I am looking for the ability of a user to pull a vaild list of
email addresses to select from so they can send an email from zope. Thanks.

Exchange fortunately speaks SMTP (among other things), so sending mail from
Zope to Exchange mailboxes is likely not a big issue; just point your
mailhost to your exchange server's IP or o a box that can relay to your
exchange server.

Perhaps I'm not entirely clear on what you want to do.  At the user/login
level, ways of integrating with Exchange exist, including usage of LDAP as a
means to create a Zope user folder that talks to any LDAP server you have
set up (I think Exchange has built-in LDAP support, and you can always sync
with a 3rd party LDAP solution).

I guess I'm not clear on whether you want to integrate Outlook or Exchange
into Zope?

Hi,

Our corporate standard is to use MS Outlook as our email system (please keep
the laughter down to a minimum). I was able to use the mailhost portion of
Zope and can send email via our Internet provider. One of the project they
are contemplating will require some type of emailing. They wish for the
whole company to be on this through email. Is there a way to tie in our
Exchange server so they can see everyone email address? Thanks.
