Mail-Distribution-List of Kolab-Accounts in Exchange/Outlook

Hallo!

We have a Kolab2 and an Exchange-Server/Outlook running. I
have the task  
to provide a Distribution List of my Kolab-Server to
Exchange/Outlook. An  
LDAP-Adressbook is not enough. Has anybody experience in
connecting these  
worlds?
I don´t want to use a commercial connector. It would be
possible for me to  
write a script which converts the "slapcat" to a
csv-file. But I don´t  
even know if my exhange-colleague could import this kind of
file.

Greetinx

Volker

We do have experience connecting these worlds for some
levels,
e.g. see http://kolab.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs-kolab.cgi/utils/ldap
-sync/

Hmm, Kolab Server is also a "commercial" product,
we do it for the money,
we are professionals, you can pay for it...

Your task description is to coarse to propose a solution.

This is an interesting utility! I will test it, when when we
find the time.

I have an better idea for us. The employes want to have an
mail-adress,  
with which they can write a mail to all kolab users. I can
make an slapcat  
to get all e-mail-adresses of the kolab server. Then I can
automaticly  
filter it to the group of persons, who shall get the mail. I
have to  
exclude the administrator, reminder and a few spevial
accounts. I could  
append the output to /etc/kolab/template/virtual.template
behind a main  
adress like organisation-usersorganisation.com ... Maybe
its better to  
source a file of all mail-users in virtual-template.

Thanx

Volker
