Subject:      Querying LDAP for SMTP addresses

I am trying to verify SMTP addresses that I have created using the
construction firstname.lastname@cibc.com
<mailto:firstname.lastname@cibc.com>  where I read firstname and lastname
from /etc/passwd. I put the question to our directory services area and they
provided a command for querying single names by running
ldap://gemmrd-scc005eu <ldap://gemmrd-scc005eu>  . I am looking for a SAS
method for running the query on all names but have not found anything in the
usual documentation sources. perLDAP looks promising although I would be
happier with a SAS filename socket mechanism. I also have Integration
Technologies but it needs some serious configuration and the documentation
is tough.
