The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Nick Holden <address@concealed>]

Hi Olivier,

It's not LDAP. It's system aliases for the list addresses. It is simply
an alternative means of storing what would otherwise be in
qmail's .qmail-username alias files, in themselves an alternative to
sendmail's alias file.

I think what's needed is an alternative to alias_manager.pl script.
Presumably there must be other sympa users who are using qmail instead
of sendmail, and therefore need an alias_manager.pl script which
creates .qmail-listname files? This is one step on from that.
