Introduction
------------
email is a commandline program to create a Groupwise account from an existing NDS account. The program can also delete
Groupwise and/or NDS accounts.
I've open sourced it but I no longer work on it and there won't be any updates to the source. It's here to
help other work with the Groupwise COM API.

Program arguments
-----------------
Groupwise server - this is the full path to wpdomain.db on the server
Groupwise ID - make this the same as the Novell CN
DN of user in NDS - this is in dotted notation, not the comma notation of LDAP
Groupwise password - make this the same as the Novell password
Domain - the name of the domain in which to create the user
Post office - the name of the postoffice in which to create the user.
Visibility - either "domain" or "system"
Mode - one of: "adduser"  - create a Groupwise account for the existing NDS user
               "delgw"    - delete the specified Groupwise user
               "delnds"   - delete the NDS account for the specified user
               "delgwnds" - dekete the Groupwise and NDS accounts for the specified user

In all the delete modes, the program uses the "DN of user in NDS" commandline argument to locate the user in
the specified domain, to find out what postoffice they're in.
When using "delnds" or "delgwnds", the user's home directory will not be affected. Only their NDS account will
be deleted.
User object commit wait in seconds - how long to wait before trying to commit user changed in Groupwise
 
Sample commandlines
-------------------
To add user 666666, whose NDS DN is cn=666666,ou=students,ou=here,ou=there,o=someorg:
email.exe \\gwserver\mail\grpwise\postofficename 666666 666666.students.here.there.someorg testpass student postofficename domain adduser 60
 
To delete the Groupwise account of user 666666, whose NDS DN is cn=666666,ou=students,ou=here,ou=there,o=someorg:
email.exe \\gwserver\mail\grpwise\postofficename 666666 666666.students.here.there.someorg -- student -- -- delgw 0
 
To delete the NDS account of user 666666, whose NDS DN is cn=666666,ou=students,ou=here,ou=there,o=someorg:
email.exe \\gwserver\mail\grpwise\postofficename 666666 666666.students.here.there.someorg -- student -- -- delnds 0
 
To delete the NDS and Groupwise accounts of user 666666, whose NDS DN is cn=666666,ou=students,ou=here,ou=there,o=someorg:
email.exe \\gwserver\mail\grpwise\postofficename 666666 666666.students.here.there.someorg -- student -- -- delgwnds 0
 
The program returns 0 if successful, otherwise a number less than 0
