The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[christopher pax <address@concealed>]

Many of our students and faculty have a mail address and and a mail alternative address, the ldap attribute names are mail and mailAlternateAddress.

My authentication is configure to use ldap.

lets say i give owner privileges to a staff member, and they a have the ability to add moderators/editors. They need to use their mail attribute in order for that person to be able to administer (or moderate) the list.

i have tested the alternative_email_attribute option in the authentication configuration file, with no success. I did this test by using the different emails for one person to be admin on different list. and when that person login, they only see the one that uses the mail attribute.

this is my configuration:
ldap
        host                            --censored--:389
        timeout                         20
        suffix                          -- censored -- 
        get_dn_by_uid_filter            (|(uid=[sender])(mail=[sender])(mailAlternateAddress=[sender]))
        get_dn_by_email_filter          (|(uid=[sender])(mail=[sender])(mailAlternateAddress=[sender]))
        email_attribute                 mail
        alternative_email_attribute     mailAlternateAddress
        scope                           sub
