Developers of Sympa

[Joe Vieira <address@concealed>]

Thanks!

I am also making a few changes to support administrative functions, for 
import from our old list server, and for automation from our automated 
systems.
Yes, i am modifying sympasoap.pm, i've already modified the WSDL and 
created a few of the other functions i need, everything else is working 
fine just getting the actual list to save the changes has been annoying.
&admin::update_list okay, i'll give that function a shot! thanks a ton 
for your help!

do you know if &admin::update_list can modify any of the LDAP include 
stuff? i am assuming it can't because it's in the admin module...so a 
point in the right direction there would be helpful also =).
