You can't really do that because Sympa needs to keep a local cache of 
list members in its DB.
But if you set the 'ttl' list parameter to something very long (like one 
day or one week), then you'll have a behavior similar to what you 
expect. Note that Sympa will query the member data source (ie your LDAP 
directory) before sending a message to the list.
