Entourage Accessing Bigfoot.com?

Nate737

After doing a recent update to my Office 2004 for Mac software, I've
noticed that when I wake my Mac from a sleep and check my e-mail,
Entourage accesses ldap.bigfoot.com..........Does anyone know what's
going on here or why Entourage would be commanding this?

Thanks in advance!

bigfoot if I recall correctly has something to do with the newsgroups
in Outlook Express, when you go to add a new account, Bigfoot is one o
the options

bigfood is an old Directory Services account that was created by default by
Outlook Express or Entourage 2001. It is defunct and can be removed
(Tools/Accounts/Directory Service; click Bigfoot, and click Delete).

P.S., As to "why", the server is only queried if you've used it before in
the same session, either by Checking names, or you have "Search directory
when addressing messages" turned on, or by using it in the Address Book
view.
