Currently, the only objects that can be associated with eDirectory are users and groups. With eDirectory, the only available attribute is eMailAddress, which populates only the primary e-mail address with a leading 7#. It does this to users as well and completely ruins the usability of this field.

PLEASE add the mail= attirbute for eDirectory on groups, just like for users, to permit publishing of multiple e-mail addresses.

For AD, distribution groups have the mail= attribute published with ONLY the primary address. None of the additional addresses get published, even though the proxyAddress attribute exists.

For users, it publishes properly (per MS Exchange spec) with ALL of the e-mail addresses as:

smtp:bob@abc.com

and with the primary one with uppercase SMTP: ...

SMTP:robert.smith@abc.com

It would be very useful and important to have this for group objects as well.
