The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Scott Balmos <address@concealed>]

Hi Olivier,

I'm pretty sure I understand the line of thought in the article you 
mentioned. user_table & subscriber_table wouldn't change really. But 
when WWSympa authenticates against LDAP, it would collect up any and all 
email address attributes, and allow a selection of which email address 
to use for subscribe operations, etc? Thus a "user" is just an LDAP 
authentication object, with one or more email addresses. None of the 
email addresses have to be canonic, or really any concept of a "master" 
email address, because all addresses are equally separate from each other.

Any of this in CVS yet, or any way I can possibly help it along? :D 
Having this ability for a user to select one of many email addresses 
"registered" to themselves is rather crucial for me. Not only because of 
the mixed-account setup that I talked about, but also many of my users 
maintain separate addresses for each list they belong to. And I want all 
of those addresses to be authenticatable from that user's single LDAP entry.

Thanks!

--Scott
