The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Scott Balmos <address@concealed>]

Hi all,

I have been reading the documentation on how to use LDAP for making 
dynamic subscriptions to lists. I have a few questions.

1) In the archives from sometime in 2001, when LDAP use was being 
considered, it was stated that pulling subscription lists from SQL, and 
then using LDAP to pull the email addresses for those subscribers, was 
impossible. I am wondering if anything has changed?

2) Is it possible to pull dynamic subscriptions from *both* LDAP and SQL 
for a list? In my intended setup, the subscribers to a list that should 
have posting rights are in LDAP, while ones that are read-only observers 
are in SQL.

3) If I pull dynamic subscriptions from LDAP, where or how do I define 
in an LDAP entry what posting rights that person has? For SQL, it's 
easy, because it's just another field in an SQL record. But I'm unsure 
how that would happen in LDAP. Ideas?

Thank you for any insight!
