The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Olivier Salaun - CRU <address@concealed>]

You need to mix subscribed and included (from LDAP) members in a single 
mailing list.

The 'include2' user_data_source allows to mix these 2 kind of members. 
Sorry for the documentation not mentionning the 'include2' mode but we 
plan to make it the default and only mode available ASAP and we'll write 
the documentation when it is done...
