Hi Thomas,

Thankyou for your reply.

The reason I thought internal users have some restrictions is from the entry 
on the wiki - http://wiki.kolab.org/index.php/User_Account_Types

<quote>
Internal User Account 
This type of user is similar to "normal" users, but it will not show up in the 
ldap address book. Please also note that an internal user is not able to send 
mail to the outside.

I just can't seem to find out how this is suppose to work.

I would be really grateful for any assistance as the Exchange box I am trying 
to replace uses account restrictions on a number of its accounts.  This is 
turning into something of a show stopper for me <sigh>
