hello friends,

i have the following error in my "/var/log/sympa" file :
***********************************************
Dec 13 18:59:27 ns wwsympa[9782]: WWSympa started
Dec 13 18:59:27 ns wwsympa[9782]: Using locale file us.cat version 2.6

filter (mailgroup=mylist)
*******************************

my "slapd" daemon is working fine ... and qmail is doing ldap looking
fine .. even the courier-imap is doing it fine with ldap ....

i have my ldap entries correct .. and slapd.oc.conf is set alright ....

Also the topics field says "Select a topic" in the create_list process
... even though i have defined the topics ....

Also the testldap.pl script works fine .. and is able to give the
desired output out ....

i have the Net::LDAP perl module installed successfully .....

what i had a hunch was the List.pm did'nt had :
use Net::LDAP;

without it it cannot create a new object ...

so i included it and recompiled the sympa software ... but i still get
the same results ....

My aliases are working perfectly with qmail using fastforward too ....

so what should i do to extract the subscribers database from LDAP ????

I also want to remove one hop in the creation if the mailing list .. i
do'nt want to send the request
to the listmaster ... i want the users to create the mailing lists as
desired by them ...

something like what egroups.com is doing ...

any help will be appreciated ..
:)

thnx
Rajat
