The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

["Paul Haldane" <address@concealed>]

Thanks - I know I'd seen some discussion of this somewhere.  I've added
a note to ID 269.

I'd assumed (wrongly it seems - but I hadn't got round to looking at the
code) that members' alternate addresses were stored in the database.  I
had planned to kludge this using a regular system job which
automatically added alternate forms for people who didn't already have
them.  Messy and inefficient (and now it sounds like it wouldn't even
work :-<).  Our requirements would be satisfied by something quite
simple that just forced all email into a canonical form and then used
that for lookups.

Sympa already manages alternate user email adresses but it is a limited
feature (introduced some time ago when we added the LDAP authentication)
:

The alternate email addresses are only used on the web interface, as a
way to view the UI with different user accounts. We wish to make use of
it on the mail interface to accept messages/commands from alternate
email addresses. 
The alternate addresses are stored in a HTTP cookie. We wish to make it
a user attribute in the user DB.

A similar feature request has been submitted with ID 269 in our
bug/feature system : http://listes.cru.fr/mantis 
Feel free to complete the request with your own needs.

Thank you.

Does sympa allow the administrator to set up mappings so that sets of
email addresses can be considered equivalent on a global basis?  Like
Majordomo2's addr_xforms -

I think I've looked through the relevant docs/archives and haven't
spotted anything but I might just be using the wrong words.
