The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Olivier Salaün - CRU <address@concealed>]

Hi Chris,

You're right, when using Sympa's LDAP authentication backend, Sympa will 
fetch the email address and alternate email addresses after the bind was 
performed using the user's DN and password. Note that a previous Bind is 
used to retrieve the user's DN given his uid or email.

I can't think of a way to fulfill your request in future Sympa releases 
without making auth.conf too complex.
