You shouldn't have that empty line after "include_ldap_query" !
"host", "suffix" & "filter" are part of the "include_ldap_query"
paragraph.

Once you have defined the available topics in topics.conf, the list
creator
has to choose a topic for his/her list.

All you have to do is write your own create_list scenario with a single
line :
true()          md5,smime -> do_it

What's missing is the aliases installation at creation time, because it
requires root privileges.
