1. student id for authentication and email address for authorization:

I want to setup md5 for authentication, however, some students have more than
one email address, school and dept. I prefer them to use the one from the
dept that they are in. I have a table which has studentID and associating
dept email addresses set up on the ML server already. Is there a simple way
to configure the site to use student id for authentication with corresponding
email address for authorization (subscription/post/review).

2. Auto Bounce management:

I've tried to configure the server to remove the users after 2 bounces
without success. I might not understand the document clearly. This type of
settings should go to sympa.conf or the config file of each list itself. I
tried both in sympa.conf and the config file of some lists but could not get
it working. When I specified level 2 bounce in sympa.conf it could not
recognize the syntax and refused to start sympa. I moved it to the config
file of a test list but seemed not working either. Am I missing something
here, can someone shed some light on this?

Thanks in advance for your help!
