Andreas,

Sorry, we were definitely on different channels.  I use the
email addressfrom the company contact in the dn for general
corporate addressbooks.
dn: mail=a_contact at yahoo.com,ou=addressbook,o=ldap_base
and add virtualdomainuser: email_turbauser at theirdomain.org
virtualdomain: theirdomain.org to each contact. that is
added
I use the virtualdomainuser to show who added the contact
and separate the contacts into virtual corporate
directories with the virtualdomain value.

This sistem has it's limitations, too, I suppose although it
has worked well for me.  I share this in hopes of creating
something more flexible, simple and better through
discussions such as these.

P.S. Virtualdomain and virtualdomainuser are from the
courier schema.
