Mail Recipient

There are two types of mail recipients: users and groups. Both user and group email use the inetLocalMailRecipient auxiliary object class for local mail routing attributes.

Email Users

LDAP entries created by inetOrgPerson can be enabled for messaging services by overlaying the entry with inetUser, ipUser, inetMailUser, inetLocalMailRecipient, and userPresenceProfile. Optionally, inetSubscriber may be used for holding subscriber type attributes for the user, but it is not required for creating messaging server users.

Email Groups

LDAP entries created by groupOfUniqueNames can be enabled for messaging services by overlaying the entry with inetMailGroup, inetMailUser, and inetLocalMailRecipient. These object classes define distribution lists and how they are to be used by the messaging server.

Email Routing

For email routing attributes, the messaging server uses the object class inetLocalMailRecipient.
