The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Tornóci László <address@concealed>]

Hi,

I am in the process of setting up sympa at the Semmelweis Univ, 
Budapest, Hungary. First of all, let me congratulate the developers, 
this is a _really_ capable system. I have two questions:

1. I noticed, some large sites allow two kinds of authentication: some 
university-wide netid for their own staff, plus regular email+pw for 
foreign users. How do you set up sympa and the databases for this? As 
far as I see sympa allows only one auth system, not something like if 
the first auth fails let's try another. So how is this done?

2. I want to set up a list with shared documents which is accessible 
only for members (read access for list members, write access for 
owners). So far no problem. However, I want to prevent the owners of 
this list from being able to set the read access to public. I can do 
this with list families, or I could introduce a site-wide restriction by 
editing etc/edit_list.conf .
This latter solution is not acceptable for me. Can I do it without list 
families?
