The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Barbara Schelkle <address@concealed>]

dear list,

good news: i had some success with my ldap-based mailinglist.
I avoid using ou=Groups on LDAP, but define my "group" (that is
mailinglist) by a new own attribute/objectclass (extending the
standard objectclass InetOrgPerson). now sympa gets all adresses
correctly from the ldap server and sends them my mails.

problem: that only works, if I (as the owner) send mail to the list.
I have set "send private" in the config, but nevertheless, all
people on the list get the following error, when they try to send
to the list:

---------------------------
From: address@concealed (Systeme de Multi-Postage Automatique)
To: [...]
Subject: Your message to team has been rejected

You tried to send a message to a private list while you are
not a subscriber of this list. The message is thus sent back to you.
---------------------------

of course there is no subscribers file in the respective directory.
that means, sympa should connect to the ldap-server erverytime
someone trys to post a message and check, if s/he is a valid
member of this list, and therefore (and because of "send private"
in the config) is allowed to send it. but my ldap-server-logs
show no accesses from sympa when it rejects a message.

can somebody help ? is there anybody with a functional ldap-based
malinglist around ?

and another question: I don't have the "subscribe" parameter set in 
the config, cause I think it's meaningless together with ldap. 
or should i set it to "close" ?

Barbara
