get buddy list from Sametime server? - Email has different SMTP TO: and MIME TO: fields in the email addresses

[Victor Reiner]

Yes I have, it doesn't work.  Our partner does updates on the server regularly to deal with things like name changes and those do not flow through to us.  Now they are changing the user ID format globally and using the push feature to update the clients.  

We did a test today on the new infrastructure and it didn't auto-update at all.

On other services it does this by default.  The usual complaint is about 
the server resetting local changes.  Have you actually tried it?

Emails are not formal business letters, whatever businesses may want.
RFC1855 says there should be an address here, but, in a world of spam,
that is no longer good advice, as archive address hiding may not work.
