Hi,

I'm trying to make a script in Linux which should send release note to a certain distribution list. Both the release note and distribution list are kept in a separate file.

I already have initial distribution list, but it is taken from Outlook so I'm pretty sure the Linux "mail" program cannot understand it straight away - We are using Exchange and LDAP, so could someone point me to right direction on how to get the email address for a certain display name from Linux?

The name which appears as a sender of each email in Outlook is something like this:
Doe, John (Firm - US/Dallas)

So I would like to check & get the actual email address of such a user if possible via Linux?

Thanks you very much in advance!

Best Regards,
-Pasi
