My experience of using X500 is that it is not very good for outfits
which are not highly motivated to provide information; when you use
an X500 service you generate a steadily widening pool of requests for
assistance, which should ulitmately reach the server that contains
the informatin you request; if what you are looking for is e-mail
addresses within an organisation that doesn't take e-mail seriously,
when you get to the relavant server there will be no data in it!!
I suggest you try using one of the WWW search engines with an
appropriate target for the search.
