Abstract
|
|
|
|
This document defines an LDAP [1] object class called
|
|
'inetLocalMailRecipient' and associated attributes that provide a way
|
|
to designate an LDAP entry as one that represents a local (intra-
|
|
organizational) email recipient, to specify the recipient's email
|
|
address(es), and to provide routing information pertinent to the
|
|
recipient. This is intended to support SMTP [2] message transfer
|
|
agents in routing RFC 822-based email [3] within a private enterprise
|
|
only, and is not to be used in the process of routing email across
|
|
the public Internet.

|
|
|
|
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
|
|
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY" and "OPTIONAL" in this
|
|
document are to be interpreted as described in [9].
|
|
|
|
2. Background and Motivation
|
|
|
|
LDAP-based directory services are currently being used in many
|
|
organizations as a repository of information about users and other
|
|
network entities (such as groups of users, network resources, etc.).
|
|
In cases where LDAP entries are used to represent entities that are
|
|
email recipients (e.g., a mail user or a mailing list), the LDAP
|
|
entries provide a convenient place to store per-recipient data, such
|
|
as a recipient's email address.
|
|
|
|
In many organizations, an email recipient may have an email address
|
|
(e.g., "joe@example.com") that does not specify the host that
|
|
receives mail for that recipient (e.g., "host42.example.com"). A
|
|
message transfer agent (MTA) responsible for routing mail within the
|
|
organization needs some way to determine the appropriate target host
|
|
for such a recipient. A common solution is the sendmail "aliases"
|
|
database which may contain a record that provides the necessary per-
|
|
recipient routing information (e.g., "joe: joe@host42"). A drawback
|
|
of this solution is that if the organization hosts more than one DNS
|
|
domain (e.g., "example.com" and "example.org", with "joe" in each
|
|
domain being different recipients), a more explicit mapping is
|
|
desirable. The schema defined in this document provides a way to
|
|
represent such mappings in LDAP and X.500 [4] directory services.
|
|
|
|
An LDAP entry that represents an email recipient could conceivably
|
|
contain a variety of attributes related to email, such as disk quota
|
|
and delivery preferences. We consider here only attributes that
|
|
specify address information and routing information; these attributes
|
|
may be useful to multiple MTAs within the organization since one or
|
|
more MTAs may be responsible for intra-organizational routing. The
|
|
various MTAs in an organization may have been developed by different
|
|
implementors, so a common schema is desirable for such attributes.
|
|
|
|
3. Overview
|
|
|
|
Email systems deployed in large organizations must scale to support
|
|
large numbers of users and email servers. This means using email
|
|
addresses that are independent of particular mailbox server hosts;
|
|
thus an "email routing server" that receives mail sent to the
|
|
host-independent (or high-level or top-level or domain ...) address
|
|
and routes it to the appropriate mailbox server. For scalability
|
|
there should be many routing servers providing identical service.
|
|
A set of such servers and the mailbox servers they route to form an
|
|
"email domain".
|

INTERNET-DRAFT LDAP Schema for Intranet Mail Routing January 2001
|
|
|
|
This specification describes the basic function of the routing
|
|
server, including data elements to support per-recipient routing
|
|
info, and use of LDAP-based directory service to support multiple
|
|
servers sharing the routing info data. The routing function is
|
|
distinguished from other MTA-transfer operations.
|
|
|
|
The 'inetLocalMailRecipient' object class and associated attributes
|
|
identify an LDAP entry as representing an SMTP mail recipient (in the
|
|
sense "recipient" is used in [2]). A recipient may be a mail user, a
|
|
mailing list, an auto-responder of some kind (e.g., a mailing list
|
|
subscription program), a network device such as a printer or fax
|
|
machine, or other recipient type. Address attributes and routing
|
|
attributes are provided to aid SMTP MTAs in routing mail within an
|
|
organization to the appropriate target MTA for each recipient.
|
|
|
|
Once on the target MTA, a message is handled according to local
|
|
conventions (which may be specified using other auxiliary object
|
|
classes and is outside the scope of this document). For example, the
|
|
message may be delivered to a user mailbox, or to a program or
|
|
network device, and/or forwarded to another recipient. Or, the
|
|
target MTA may be a gateway to a non-SMTP mail routing and delivery
|
|
system including non-SMTP MTAs. Note that, in this discussion,
|
|
"target MTA" refers to the final SMTP destination of messages for the
|
|
recipient in question, as we are considering routing of mail only
|
|
among the SMTP MTAs within an organization.
|
|
|
|
Any domain that uses LDAP-based routing MUST support LDAP-based
|
|
routing at all MTAs responsible for the domain. All other MTAs that
|
|
do not support LDAP-based routing MUST forward mail for that domain
|
|
to MTAs that do, using MX records or other local conventions.
|
|
|
|
The target MTA checks to see if the destination domain of the
|
|
recipient address is one that it is responsible for and that uses
|
|
LDAP-based routing. If so, the MTA checks for matching e-mail
|
|
addresses in LDAP by looking up the envelope recipient address in
|
|
LDAP using the object class described in section 4.1 and the
|
|
attribute discussed in section 4.2. If an unambiguous match is
|
|
returned, the MTA interprets the routing attributes as described in
|
|
section 4.3.
|
|
|
|
Routing of mail between different organizations across the public
|
|
Internet is outside the scope of this document, as the mechanism for
|
|
this is already standardized [5,6]. An 'inetLocalMailRecipient'
|
|
entry represents a mail recipient that is local to the organization
|
|
in question, not recipients in other organizations. This means that
|
|
the domain names that appear within the 'mailLocalAddress' and
|
|
'mailHost' attribute values in an 'inetLocalMailRecipient' entry must
|
|
be DNS domain names that are local to the organization. (e.g.,
|
|
within the organization's Intranet or by deemed local by other local
|
|
conventions outside the scope of this standard). An MTA should not
|
|
look for or use 'inetLocalMailRecipient' entries or attributes if
|
|
that MTA is not authoritative for the right-hand side of the
|
|
recipient address in question.
|
|
|
|
Lachman, et. al. [Page 3]
|
|
|
|
INTERNET-DRAFT LDAP Schema for Intranet Mail Routing January 2001
|
|
|
|
LDAP entries that are not 'inetLocalMailRecipient' entries should be
|
|
ignored by MTAs for the purpose of routing. An example is a
|
|
conference room whose LDAP entry contains contact information (e.g.,
|
|
email address and telephone number) for the person who books
|
|
reservations for the room; the conference room is not a mail
|
|
recipient, and can safely be ignored by MTAs doing route
|
|
determination based on recipient address.
|
|
|
|
4. Object Class and Attribute Definitions
|
|
|
|
The 'inetLocalMailRecipient' object class and associated attributes
|
|
are defined (using syntaxes given in [7]) as follows.
|
|
|
|
4.1 The inetLocalMailRecipient Object Class
|
|
|
|
( 2.16.840.1.113730.3.2.[[TBD]]
|
|
NAME 'inetLocalMailRecipient'
|
|
SUP top
|
|
AUXILIARY
|
|
MAY ( mailLocalAddress $
|
|
mailHost $ mailRoutingAddress
|
|
)
|
|
)
|
|
|
|
The 'inetLocalMailRecipient' object class signifies that the entry
|
|
represents an entity within the organization that can receive SMTP
|
|
mail, such as a mail user or a mailing list. In any case of an entry
|
|
containing the 'inetLocalMailRecipient' object class, attributes
|
|
defined in this document MUST be interpreted as specified in this
|
|
document.
|
|
|
|
4.2 Address Attribute
|
|
|
|
( 2.16.840.1.113730.3.1.13
|
|
NAME 'mailLocalAddress'
|
|
DESC 'RFC 822 email address of this recipient'
|
|
EQUALITY caseIgnoreIA5Match
|
|
SYNTAX '1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.26{256}'
|
|
)
|
|
|
|
The 'mailLocalAddress' attribute is used to specify email addresses,
|
|
for the recipient; for example, "nickname@example.com". The address
|
|
conforms to the syntax of an 'addr-spec' as defined in [3].
|
|
|
|
The 'mailLocalAddress' attribute MUST contain all local addresses
|
|
that represent each recipient of the target MTA. Commonly, the value
|
|
of the 'mail' attribute should also be among the addresses listed in
|
|
the 'mailLocalAddress' attribute if it is expected to be used for
|
|
LDAP mail routing.
|
|
|
|
Lachman, et. al. [Page 4]
|
|
|
|
INTERNET-DRAFT LDAP Schema for Intranet Mail Routing January 2001
|
|
|
|
When determining the disposition of a given message, MTAs using LDAP
|
|
(directly or indirectly) to route mail MUST search for an entry with
|
|
object class 'inetLocalMailRecipient' and a 'mailLocalAddress'
|
|
attribute matching the message's recipient address. If exactly one
|
|
matching entry is found, MTAs MUST regard the message as being
|
|
addressed to the entity that is represented by the directory entry.
|
|
|
|
If multiple entries are found, the results of the lookup MUST be
|
|
treated as unsuccessful and should be handled by the MTA in some
|
|
locally-appropriate way, such as returning a DSN [10] to the sender.
|
|
|
|
If there is no match found by the above, MTAs SHOULD have the
|
|
capability of searching for the recipient domain against the
|
|
'mailLocalAddress' attribute using the "wildcard domain" address
|
|
"@<full-local-domain>" , e.g., "@example.org". In other words, if
|
|
mail arrives for "someone@example.org", and there is no recipient
|
|
with that address specified as 'mailLocalAddress', then the recipient
|
|
with the wildcard domain address should receive the mail.
|
|
|
|
MTAs MAY do other searches but only after the above are done.
|
|
|
|
In short, the address attribute 'mailLocalAddress' may be used by an
|
|
LDAP entry to answer the question "what is/are this account's email
|
|
address(es)?"
|
|
|
|
4.3 Routing Attributes
|
|
|
|
( 2.16.840.1.113730.3.1.18
|
|
NAME 'mailHost'
|
|
DESC 'fully-qualified hostname of the MTA that is the final
|
|
SMTP destination of messages to this recipient'
|
|
EQUALITY caseIgnoreIA5Match
|
|
SYNTAX '1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.26{256}'
|
|
SINGLE-VALUE
|
|
)
|
|
|
|
The 'mailHost' attribute indicates which SMTP MTA considers the
|
|
recipient's mail to be locally handleable. This information can be
|
|
used for routing, in that an intermediary MTA may take it to be the
|
|
destination for messages addressed to this recipient. Normal mail
|
|
routing requirements (i.e., use of MX records [5]) apply to the
|
|
specified hostname unless overridden by local conventions. In other
|
|
words, the mail should be sent to the specified host without changing
|
|
the recipient address. The hostname is specified as a
|
|
fully-qualified DNS hostname with no trailing dot (e.g.,
|
|
"host42.example.com").
|
|
|
|
If the 'inetLocalMailRecipient' object class is present, the
|
|
'mailHost' attribute for each entry MAY contain a value. If it does,
|
|
that value MUST be the fully qualified name of the server containing
|
|
the host MTA for this person. If 'mailHost' is present then it MUST
|
|
be taken as the host for this user, and all mail to this user MUST be
|
|
routed to this machine.
|
|

INTERNET-DRAFT LDAP Schema for Intranet Mail Routing January 2001
|
|
|
|
( 2.16.840.1.113730.3.1.47
|
|
NAME 'mailRoutingAddress'
|
|
DESC 'RFC 822 address to use when routing messages to
|
|
the SMTP MTA of this recipient'
|
|
EQUALITY caseIgnoreIA5Match
|
|
SYNTAX '1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.26{256}'
|
|
SINGLE-VALUE
|
|
)
|
|
|
|
The 'mailRoutingAddress' attribute indicates a routing address for
|
|
the recipient. The address MUST conform to the syntax of an
|
|
'addr-spec' in [3]. An intermediary MTA MUST use this information to
|
|
route the message to the MTA that handles mail for this recipient,
|
|
e.g., the envelope address MUST be rewritten to this value. This is
|
|
useful in cases where, for a given recipient, the target MTA prefers
|
|
a particular address to appear as the recipient address in the SMTP
|
|
envelope. 'mailRoutingAddress' MAY be used as an alternative to
|
|
'mailHost', and is intended to have the same effect as 'mailHost'
|
|
except that 'mailRoutingAddress' is an address for rewriting the
|
|
envelope. With 'mailHost', the envelope address either is not
|
|
rewritten, or is rewritten according to implementation-specific rules
|
|
and/or configuration.
|
|
|
|
If both 'mailHost' and 'mailRoutingAddress' are present, MTAs MUST
|
|
interpret it to mean that messages are to be routed to the host
|
|
indicated by 'mailHost', while rewriting the envelope as per
|
|
'mailRoutingAddress'. In theory, there could be peculiar cases where
|
|
this is necessary, but this is not normally expected.
|
|
|
|
Absence of both 'mailHost' and 'mailRoutingAddress' MAY be considered
|
|
an error, unless "location-independent" recipient types are supported
|
|
by the various MTAs within the organization. This would allow any
|
|
MTA in the organization to handle the processing of mail for, say, a
|
|
mailing list. This presumes that the various MTAs all recognize the
|
|
recipient type in question, suggesting a need to standardize
|
|
recipient types that could be "location-independent".
|
|
|
|
In short, routing attributes may be used by an LDAP entry to answer
|
|
the question "how should MTAs route mail to this account?"
|
|
(analogous to using the sendmail "aliases" database for per-user
|
|
routing within an organization). This is in contrast with
|
|
"forwarding"; forwarding and delivery options may be specified in an
|
|
LDAP entry to answer the question "what happens to mail once it
|
|
arrives at this account?", which may include forwarding to some other
|
|
account within or outside the organization (analogous to using the
|
|
sendmail ".forward" file). Such options are outside the scope of the
|
|
'inetLocalMailRecipient' schema definition.

The following possibilities exist as a result of an LDAP lookup on an
|
|
address:

|
|
mailHost is mailRoutingAddress is Results in

|
|
|
|

|
"location-independent"
|
|
|
|
The term "local" host above means the host specified is one that the
|
|
local (target) MTA considers to be a local delivery. The local MTA
|
|
MAY rewrite the original address when mailRoutingAddress is not set
|
|
if local conventions warrant the change.
|
|
|
|
5. Examples
|
|
|
|
The following examples illustrate possible uses of the
|
|
'inetLocalMailRecipient' object class. Note that the examples
|
|
include attributes defined outside of this document to demonstrate a
|
|
complete record. The existence of these attributes in the example is
|
|
not an indication that these attributes are used for LDAP-based mail
|
|
routing (e.g., the 'mail' is not used for mail routing).
|
|
|
|
Here is an example of an LDAP entry representing a mail user:
|
|
|
|
dn: uid=joe,o=Example Corp,c=US
|
|
objectClass: top
|
|
objectClass: person
|
|
objectClass: organizationalPerson
|
|
objectClass: inetOrgPerson
|
|
objectClass: inetLocalMailRecipient
|
|
objectClass: nsMessagingServerUser
|
|
cn: Joe User
|
|
sn: User
|
|
uid: joe
|
|
userPassword: {crypt}y2KxtbzMYnApU
|
|
mail: joe@example.com
|
|
|
|
Lachman, et. al. [Page 7]
|
|
|
|
INTERNET-DRAFT LDAP Schema for Intranet Mail Routing January 2001
|
|
|
|
mailLocalAddress: joe@example.com
|
|
mailLocalAddress: joe@another.example.com
|
|
mailHost: nsmail1.example.com
|
|
mailDeliveryOption: mailbox
|
|
mailQuota: 1000000
|
|
mailForwardingAddress: mary@example.com
|
|
|
|
Joe User is a user of a hypothetical mail system called NS Messaging.
|
|
Let's say mail arrives on an MTA called "mx.example.com", addressed
|
|
to "joe@example.com". That MTA searches the directory for a mail
|
|
recipient with that address, using an LDAP search filter [8] such as:
|
|
|
|
(&(objectClass=inetLocalMailRecipient)
|
|
(mailLocalAddress=joe@example.com))
|
|
|
|
It finds Joe's LDAP entry, and routes the message to the target MTA
|
|
"nsmail1.example.com", while not rewriting the SMTP envelope
|
|
recipient address. Then, "nsmail1.example.com" receives the message,
|
|
searches for and finds the recipient in the directory, ascertains
|
|
that it is the recipient's target MTA, and handles the message as per
|
|
other attributes in the recipient's entry and/or the MTA
|
|
configuration (in this case, the message is delivered to a mailbox,
|
|
and forwarded to another recipient).
|
|
|
|
Note that this document does not specify the rules an MTA is to use
|
|
to ascertain whether or not it is the target MTA for a given
|
|
recipient (it could check the recipient's 'mailHost' value against
|
|
its own hostname, or check the recipient's 'mailRoutingAddress', or
|
|
check the MTA configuration, or some combination of these).
|
|
|
|
Here is another example of an LDAP entry representing a mail user:
|
|
|
|
dn: uid=john,o=Example Corp,c=US
|
|
objectClass: top
|
|
objectClass: person
|
|
objectClass: organizationalPerson
|
|
objectClass: inetOrgPerson
|
|
objectClass: inetLocalMailRecipient
|
|
objectClass: xyzMailUser
|
|
cn: John Doe
|
|
sn: Doe
|
|
uid: john
|
|
userPassword: {crypt}y2KxtbzMYnApU
|
|
mail: john@example.com
|
|
mailLocalAddress: john@example.com
|
|
mailRoutingAddress: John_Doe@xyz-gw.example.com
|
|
xyzPostOfficeName: PO_1
|
|
xyzClusterNumber: 3
|
|
xyzMessageStoreId: 9
|
|
|
|

INTERNET-DRAFT LDAP Schema for Intranet Mail Routing January 2001
|
|
|
|
John Doe is a user of a hypothetical mail system called XYZ Mail.
|
|
Let's say mail arrives on an MTA called "mx.example.com", addressed
|
|
to "john@example.com". That MTA searches the directory for a mail
|
|
recipient with that address, and routes the message to "xyz-
|
|
gw.example.com", rewriting the SMTP envelope recipient address to
|
|
"John_Doe@xyz-gw.example.com", as per the 'mailRoutingAddress'. On
|
|
"xyz-gw.example.com", the message is gatewayed into the XYZ Mail
|
|
system and then dealt with as per other attributes.
|
|
|
|
Here is an example of an LDAP entry representing a mailing list:
|
|
|
|
dn: cn=Scuba Group,o=Example Corp,c=US
|
|
objectClass: top
|
|
objectClass: groupOfUniqueNames
|
|
objectClass: inetLocalMailRecipient
|
|
objectClass: mailGroup
|
|
cn: Scuba Group
|
|
mail: scuba@example.com
|
|
mailLocalAddress: scuba@example.com
|
|
mailHost: host42.example.com
|
|
mgrpRFC822MailMember: joe@example.com
|
|
mgrpRFC822MailMember: john@example.com
|
|
|
|
The Scuba Group is a mail group (mailing list) that includes two
|
|
members. A message addressed to "scuba@example.com" is routed to
|
|
"host42.example.com" where it is then resent to the mailing list
|
|
members.
|
|
|
|
Here is an example of an LDAP entry representing a forwarding alias:
|
|
|
|
dn: cn=Jane Roe Forwarding Alias,o=Example,c=US
|
|
objectClass: top
|
|
objectClass: inetLocalMailRecipient
|
|
objectClass: mailForwardingAlias
|
|
mail: janeroe@example.org
|
|
mailLocalAddress: janeroe@example.org
|
|
mailHost: mail.example.org
|
|
mailForwardingAddress: janeroe@elsewhere.example.com
|
|
cn: Jane Roe Forwarding Alias
|
|
|
|
This entry uses a hypothetical object class 'mailForwardingAlias'
|
|
that is not specified here, but is used as an example of how an LDAP
|
|
entry might represent such a recipient type. A message addressed to
|
|
"janeroe@example.org" is routed to "mail.example.org" where it is
|
|
then forwarded. In this case, Jane Roe may be a former member of the
|
|
Example Organization, and they are forwarding her mail to her new
|
|
address elsewhere.

6. Security Considerations
|
|
|
|
As in all cases where account information is stored in an LDAP-based
|
|
directory service, network administrators must be careful to ensure
|
|
that their directory service controls users' access to the entries
|
|
and attributes stored therein, according to site policy. In
|
|
particular, mail routing information should not be accessible from
|
|
outside the organization, since it is intended for use only by MTAs
|
|
within the organization.
|
|
|
|
7. Acknowledgments
|
|
|
|
The 'inetLocalMailRecipient' object class is based on an earlier
|
|
design done by the Netscape Messaging and Directory Server teams,
|
|
which was implemented and deployed to customers as part of Netscape
|
|
Messaging Server. Various team members contributed to the design,
|
|
including Bill Fitler, Bruce Steinback, Prabhat Keni, Mike Macgirvin,
|
|
John Myers, John Kristian, Tim Howes, Mark Smith, and Leif Hedstrom.
|
|
Thanks also to Jeff Hodges of Stanford for contributing to the early
|
|
design discussions, and to the other participants in the IETF LASER
|
|
BOF, including, from Sun Microsystems, John Beck, Anil Srivastava,
|
|
and Darryl Huff.
