Outlook connector - sending mail to alias'es doesn't work ...

Question

Hi,
We are using JES5 with the latest outlook connector (7.2.402.1)
The user accounts have mailalternateaddress entries that consist of their initials. ([email protected])
the uid is the same as their initials (ie uid=hda)
the main 'mail' attribute is made of firstname.lastname, ie '[email protected]'
In the UWC we are able to type 'hda' in the to: field or 'heidi.alloos', when we click 'send' the @domain.com is added and both mails arrive.
In the outlook connector, I need the same feature but there, i am only able to use heidi.alloos<enter>
When I try to type 'hda' , outlook says 'microsoft office outlook does not recognize 'hda', probably because this entry is - by default - nowheree to be found in the global address list
Is there a way to obtain the same result in outlook, possibly by tweaking some of the entries in the LDAP tab in the outlook connector deployment tool ? When I go to the addressbook in outlook, and perform a find based on the alias field, it does find the user, so somehow outlook should be able to find it rightaway, yes ?
kind regards,
Tom.

I've found it:
in deployment tool, change name resolution filter to:
(&(mail=*)(|(mail=%s*)(mailalternateaddress=%s*)(|(cn=%s*)(|(sn=%s*)(givenName=%s*)))))Thanks for posting this update. I take it that you got the answer you were after in the [email protected] mailing list?
