ldap scheme for email aliases

Question

Does anyone know what scheme to use when setting up email aliases in LDAP? I could use anything, but it seems kind of abusive to use "title" for example as the email alias. extensibleObject may be the correct thing to use, but it seems wrong.

What email software is to be used? – Terry Gardner Oct 31 '12 at 09:37 — Terry Gardner, Oct 31 '12 at 09:37

You may want to look at nisMailAlias.

Sounds like you want misc.schema (or misc.ldif), usually included with OpenLDAP.
It contains the schema definitions for the following attributetypes and objectClasses:

mailLocalAddress
mailHost
mailRoutingAddress
inetLocalMailRecipient
rfc822MailMember
nisMailAlias

Yup, that was just what I needed. All set with postfix. Thanks. – d-_-b Nov 09 '12 at 08:05
