The :addresses argument accepts only additional mail addresses that a user might have. (http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5230#section-4.5) Which of your users has the address *doe@*? ;-) I believe there is no wildcard support. In my opinion wildcard addresses would also make no sense.
OK now I understand...
Postfix receives mails in firstname.lastname@domain.com format, and does an LDAP lookup to Active Directory to determine the 'flastname' login-name format (for delivery to /home/AD/flastname/Maildir/).
It would then seem that we'd need a method to do a reverse lookup at Dovecot's 'deliver' time and determine the valid To: addresses from LDAP. Does this sound vaguely possible without major engineering work?
I'm just trying to reduce the migration pain on behalf of the users whose current experience with Outlook is Tools -> Out of Office -> Enable.
Hm, I can't find Outlook in the repos. :-D
Ha :) Work with me here; I'm trying to pull people /away/ from the beast so the experience needs to be as drool-proof as possible as people leave their comfort zone :)
