LDAP attribute format

Hi,

I have just been looking at using perdition as part of a mail migration 
between multiple POP3 servers and have it working well with LDAP.

At the moment I have it configured to lookup against the domain part of 
the user login and have temporarily added the following attribute to the 
domain object in LDAP:

mailhost=192.168.10.81

That works, but I would like to use an existing attribute that already 
exists and wouldnt require manually editing the LDAP object everytime a 
domain was updated.  The problem is this attribute is in the format of:

mailtransport=nexthop:[mda-clusterX.domain.com]

So my query is returning "nexthop:[mdaX.domain.com]".  Is there anyway 
to get ldap/perdition to retrieve the part of the result thats in the [] 
brackets?  If I could use that part of the LDAP attribute I would only 
need to add an entry to the hosts file so that it would use the POP3 
server that corresponds with the Mail Delivery server in that attribute?

If theres a trick to accimplish that it would save me alot of work. :)

Thanks.

Jim.
