Sorry, I had not thought of that, as your environment differs significantly
from mine.
Rather than an e-mail message, though, why not emulate the logon expiry
notification through your web page? If you are running IIS, it would be just
as easy to write a script to extract the password expiry information from
the domain and embed that in an ASP script instead of an off-line script
that sends e-mails.
How do your users actually change their domain passwords once they realize
they need to? If, as you say, they do not log on to the domain, do they
access a web page on which they can change their password? If so, you are
already doing part of what I suggest above.
