[ZendTo] Re: Address Book or Remote API

[Jules]

I probably do now have the time to include this if you can send it to me.
It will obviously need to be controllable, as it's not a feature we 
could use (45,000 users in our AD), but small sites might appreciate it.

I would probably write my own code for producing the list of potential 
recipients, probably in Perl (that's what I find the easiest), rather 
than rely on a JVM, but your code for that would still be useful as you 
no doubt have sorted out a lot of design issues from which I could benefit.

So please do send us all the code again, and I will endeavour to add the 
feature so sites can use it if they want to.

Jules.

P.S. Anything to do with pre-authentication, I still don't see how to 
do, let alone implementing an API to do all sorts of clever things 
programmatically.
