Since there is not a definite one to one linkage between an LDAP group query
and a list (you can have many lists feed from the same LDAP group and you
can have several groups feed one list) I think it would be very hard to make
that work reliably.

If you were using families, where all the lists and groups are in a one to
one relationship you would have less chance for errors, but I think it still
would be pretty risky.  The ACIs alone would be a nightmare.

I actually want both,
so if we write directly to ldap, i would like sympa to use that and then if
we make a change using the sympa interface, i would like that to be
reflected in ldap.  i.e if we add a user to a mailing list, i want that
pushed back into ldap.

it's all about keeping everything in sync from all directions, does that
make sense?
