hi s. yes, I have... but none of my searches has revealed any information that actually works. All I can get out of exim is "Unrouteable address". no matter what I've tried. The ppt presentation you referred to looked like it had potential, but not 1 single LDAP query in that ppt seemed to work correctly on my windows browser. I figured if the information in there, which DID look fairly straightforward, doesn't work right, then how can I trust anything that follows.? I certainly accept the notion that the problem is ME. But I can't seem to find a place to start diagnosing what I'm doing wrong... I can't seem to get even the simplest of things to work correctly when it comes to using exim w/ ldap. I consider myself expert, when it comes to most things *nix. But working with ldap has been the most frustrating experience i've had in a long time. The closest thing to ANY success i've had is with ldapsearch as follows: ldapsearch -h exchange.domain.com -D "CN=exim,CN=Users,DC=domain,DC=com" -x -w "password" -b "CN=Users,DC=domain,DC=com" "(memberOf=CN=Users,DC=domain,DC=com)" this command at least seems to communicate w/ the exchange server, and tells me "invalid credentials". I can only ASSUME that means a problem w/ the user/password, but I KNOW that info IS valid. I don't have a clue how to start figuring out what's wrong with credentials I KNOW are good. is debian REALLY talking to my exchange server? have no clue... it would help if I could telnet to my exchange server & submit a query & see it work... but no one can even tell me if this can be done!?!? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
