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

I can send the entire script if you are interested, the above is just what handles the email.
