Appreciate that!

Wouldn't that be my luck?  LOL.  I'll consider filing a bug.  Is there 
any documentation to administering Kolab from the command line, assuming 
that way is a bit more 'tried and true'?

Yes, all users are to be specific (jailed if you will) to specific 
domains.  It's mostly going to be all personal or family, but I will 
have at least one (and probably more if this server proves to be 
efficient enough on my VPS) customer account which should be completely 
isolated from others (directory, etc).  When I tried to create the user, 
I did select the domain that I wanted, and it did show in the URL 
(?domain=xyz.com or whatever), but after creation, it assigned it to my 
main domain anyway, and was not visible under the selected  domain.   
Same as my comments above, do you know where I can find some 
documentation on a command line tool to administer things?

So what this is basically saying is that the primary email address is 
designed to be used as a unique account identifier in 389, but will use 
whatever configured email in cyrus?  Also, how would we offer 
segregation on the Global Address book to the different domains?  I need 
to confirm that the default email address when sending out would be the 
external email -- I would plan to use a non-routeable domain as the 
primary domain.

Which brings me to a question - is it tough to change the primary domain?

:-)  Thanks.  I am sure with some tips on the documentation and perhaps 
a little metaphorical "hand-holding" I will be walking in no time!

Thanks,

Tim
