Author Recipient Policies

Hiya
Could someone point me in the right direction, im having a
look at the policies and want to base peoples email
addresses on which organisational unit they are in.

I have about 10 organisation units based on what business
they work for.

I have about 10 domains that relate directly to those OUs

Everytime i create a user in that OU i want them by
default to have the correct email.

Can this be done?

You're not going to be able to do that using the OU. The OU isn't a
property of the user.

If the "Company" property is used for this purpose it'd be a better
choice for the LDAP filter.

No. At least not with the OU, or even with group membership.

But you might be able to work a filter based on the distinguishedName
attribute. (Haven't tried. Just a thought.)

I don't think so.

Also, there's no way to distinguish between two OU's with idential
names (but different DN's). E.g.

.. . . ,OU=A,OU=B, . . .
.. . . ,OU=C,OU=B, . . .
