[ZendTo] Two or more authentication servers? LDAP and/or IMAP

[Brad Firestone]

Thanks for the response John!
I was hoping that we could set it up so that if just a username is entered, then authentication is attempted against the LDAP server.  If a full email address is entered, then authentication should be attempted against the email server.

I may have to find someone who knows programming.  :-)
