Description

Why?

I have at least two use cases:

• At LINAGORA we have a customer that wants to disable users: they can still receive emails but can no longer send emails.

We rely on a LDAP attibute in order to determine if a user is active or not.

Getting a matcher for determining this explicitly within the mailet container would be cool.

• At RPLL conference a user mentionned to me a use case called "right to disconnection" where users only receive emails between 8am and 8pm, and other mails are delayed. Exceptions (top executives, emergency personnel) are managed via a LDAP group.

Scope

Provide tools for working efficiently with LDAP within the perimeter of the mailet container.

This includes:

• LDAP attributes
• LDAP groups
