RCPT500(8C)


NAME

  rcpt500 - mail to X.500 gateway program


SYNOPSIS

  /usr/internet/openldap/libexec/rcpt500 [-l] [-h ldaphost] [-p ldapport] [-b
  searchbase] [-a] [-U] [-z sizelimit] [-f filterfile] [-t templatefile] [-c
  rdncount]


DESCRIPTION

  rcpt500 is a mail-query server that answers X.500 white pages queries.  It
  is designed to be run out of your mail system alias file (or the
  equivalent).	rcpt500 accepts the entire contents (including headers) of an
  RFC 822 message on standard input.  The message is parsed, and a search or
  help command found in the Subject: header of message body is recognized and
  a reply is sent to the sender.

  If you are using sendmail(8), you could add the following line to the
  aliases(5) file (/etc/aliases) to have rcpt500 invoked whenever mail is
  sent to the address namelookup on your host:
      namelookup: "|/usr/internet/openldap/libexec/rcpt500 -l"


OPTIONS

  -l   Enable logging of requests to the LOG_DAEMON facility.

  -h ldaphost
       Specify an alternate host on which the ldap server is running.

  -p ldapport
       Specify and alternate TCP port where the ldap server is running.

  -b searchbase
       Specify an alternate base for searches.	searchbase should be a
       string-represented LDAP Distinguished Name.

  -a   Turn off dereferencing of aliases for the LDAP search.

  -U   Use Connectionless LDAP (over UDP).  This option is only available
       when rcpt500 is compiled with -DCLDAP.

  -z sizelimit
       Limit the maximum number of entries returned to sizelimit entries.

  -t templatefile
       Specify an alternate template configuration file for use with the
       ldap_init_templates(3) facility, used by rcpt500.

  -c rdncount
       Specify the number of DN components to show for the names and DN
       attributes within entries matching the search.


NOTES

  The default values for most of the things you can specify with options are
  configured at compile time in the include/ldapconfig.h.edit include file.
  Also included there are the pathname of the help file, the name of the
  command used to send replies, etc.  You should configure ldapconfig.h.edit
  for your site.
